35f539b481 When expanding %p in archive_command or restore_command, translate
slashes to backslashes #ifdef WIN32.  This is to cope with the fact
that Windows seems exceedingly unfriendly to slashes in shell commands,
as per recent discussion.

clarity.

33bf242a8a Make listen_addresses be a comma-separated list instead of a space-separated
list.  More consistent with our other list-containing GUC variables.

7ee3c35152 Allow libpgport to call memory allocation routines even though
CurrentMemoryContext is DLLIMPORT on Win32.  Work around that by
creating stubs in the backend for palloc/pstrdup.

Also fix pg_dumpall to do proper quoting on Win32.

cb50ee286d Tighened up syntax checking of array input processing considerably. Junk that
was previously allowed in odd places with odd results now causes an ERROR.
Also changed behavior with respect to whitespace -- trailing whitespace is
now ignored as well as leading whitespace (which has always been ignored).

Documentation updated to reflect change in whitespace handling. Also some
refactoring to what I believe is a more sensible order of several paragraphs.

6c3561b9e4 Minor editorialization on example --- I think that the use of dollar
quoting in this case is just needless obscurantism.

ff8d68df5c Included is an example of using savepoints in a non-trivial example.
Giving examples in the SQL command reference is hard because we don't
have conditionals at the SQL level.

9b3caebb0a Update plpgsql documentation for 8.0 (mostly, make use of named
function parameters and dollar quoting in examples; do some polishing
of the existing dollar-quoting docs).  The 'how to port from Oracle'
section is looking pretty respectable these days ...

b2b5656362 Don't try to rewrite NEW references in a utility statement in a rule.
There won't be any, and in fact there won't even be an RTE for NEW,
which was leading to a core dump in CVS tip.  7.4 and earlier manage
not to crash when applying ResolveNew in this scenario, but I think
it was just good fortune that they didn't.  Per report from
Bernd Helmle.
