e134556743 I have compiled and tested PostgreSQL 7.1devel on UnixWare 7.1. During the
process, the need for changes to the FAQ_SCO document was uncovered.  The
attach patch file implements thost changes.

89f6443ca3 In the meaning of bug-fix, the patch is not needed. Because you
have already modified "next_insert()" in 7.0-ecpglib.  However
in the meaning of speed-up, the patch will be needed.

664ce79dd8 Fixes for Cygwin, with help from Pete Forman <gsez020@kryten.bedford.waii.com>.
Update the installation instructions (formerly misnamed "FAQ"), add configure
checks for some headers rather than having users copy stubs manually (ugh!).
Use Autoconf check for exe extension.  This also avoids inheriting the value
of $(X) from the environment.

ebdfac3bb1 the patch include:
- rename ichar() to chr() (discussed with Tom)

        - add docs for oracle compatible routines:

                btrim()
                ascii()
                chr()
                repeat()

        - fix bug with timezone in to_char()

        - all to_char() variants return NULL instead textin("")
          if it's needful.

 The contrib/odbc is without changes and contains same routines as main
tree ... because I not sure how plans are Thomas with this :-)

This effectively one line patch should fix the fact that
foreign key definitions in create table were erroring if
a primary key was defined.  I was using the columns
list to get the columns of the table for comparison, but
it got reused as a temporary list inside the primary key
stuff.

457ac0331c Implement differentiation between CURRENT_USER and SESSION_USER as per SQL.
There is still no effective difference but it will kick in once setuid
functions exist (not included here).  Make old getpgusername() alias for
current_user.

335248c9b7 Support for DESTDIR make variable. This is used as in `make install
DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.

DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because

a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.

b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.

(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)

1da2feea83 Previous patch backed out.
Here is a patch against CVS (without my earlier patch)
to disallow

LOCK x

if x is a view.

It does not use the SPI interface.
