c5bf116367 Allow libedit to keep its headers in /usr/include/readline/ ... not a
very good practice IMHO, but apparently some people think so.

c833c6c558 Hack to work around broken linker on older NetBSD/OpenBSD/Irix assumed
that readline must depend on libcurses, but it seems more recent ones
use libtermcap instead.  Allow that case.

e9c03c3b1b Disallow the combination VACUUM FULL FREEZE for safety's sake, for the
reasons I outlined in pghackers a few days ago.

Also, undo someone's overly optimistic decision to reduce tuple state
checks from if (...) elog() to Asserts.  If I trusted this code more,
I might think it was a good idea to disable these checks in production
installations.  But I don't.

8408f65252 Rework libpq threaded SIGPIPE handling to avoid interference with
calling applications.  This is done by blocking sigpipe in the libpq
thread and using sigpending/sigwait to possibily discard any sigpipe we
generated.

64b5789497 This is a little patch to correct the documentation on CVS. The URL for
downloading CVS at cyclic.com site is long defunct, and I changed the text
to not overtly recommend CVS 1.10, a now fairly old version.

escapes --- they aren't simply quoted characters.  Problem noted by

4e91824b94 Make some adjustments to reduce platform dependencies in plan selection.
In particular, there was a mathematical tie between the two possible
nestloop-with-materialized-inner-scan plans for a join (ie, we computed
the same cost with either input on the inside), resulting in a roundoff
error driven choice, if the relations were both small enough to fit in
sort_mem.  Add a small cost factor to ensure we prefer materializing the
smaller input.  This changes several regression test plans, but with any
luck we will now have more stability across platforms.

5374d097de Change planner to use the current true disk file size as its estimate of
a relation's number of blocks, rather than the possibly-obsolete value
in pg_class.relpages.  Scale the value in pg_class.reltuples correspondingly
to arrive at a hopefully more accurate number of rows.  When pg_class
contains 0/0, estimate a tuple width from the column datatypes and divide
that into current file size to estimate number of rows.  This improved
methodology allows us to jettison the ancient hacks that put bogus default
values into pg_class when a table is first created.  Also, per a suggestion
from Simon, make VACUUM (but not VACUUM FULL or ANALYZE) adjust the value
it puts into pg_class.reltuples to try to represent the mean tuple density
instead of the minimal density that actually prevails just after VACUUM.
These changes alter the plans selected for certain regression tests, so
update the expected files accordingly.  (I removed join_1.out because
it's not clear if it still applies; we can add back any variant versions
as they are shown to be needed.)

aef2d0d86c Fix readline/libedit selection code to prefer readline over libedit
reliably (ie, regardless of which libraries they depend on).  Also
make sure that we don't select headers that obviously belong to the
wrong one of the two libraries.  This was discussed back around 4-Sep
but seems to have slipped through the cracks.  The header selection
could be checked more closely, perhaps, but let's see if this is good
enough.

66cd815063 Clean up initdb's error handling so that it prints something more
useful than just \'failed\' when there's a problem.  Per gripe from
Chris Albertson.

In an unrelated change, use VACUUM FULL; VACUUM FREEZE; rather than
a single VACUUM FULL FREEZE command, to respond to my worries of a
couple days ago about the reliability of doing this in one go.
