returning "ASCII code of the first character of the argument"
(see
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/functions-string.html,
Table 9-6. "Other String Functions").
Presumably this should read "ASCII code of the first byte of the
argument",
which is what is returned when the argument is a multi-byte character
(although then with UTF-8 at least that might not necessarily be an
ASCII
code).

multiples of the page size (at least, that's how I interpret the
Darwin code).

more compliant with the error message style guide. In particular,
errdetail should begin with a capital letter and end with a period,
whereas errmsg should not. I also fixed a few related issues in
passing, such as fixing the repeated misspelling of "lexeme" in
contrib/tsearch2 (per Tom's suggestion).
creation of a shell type. This allows a less hacky way of dealing with
the mutual dependency between a datatype and its I/O functions: make a
shell type, then make the functions, then define the datatype fully.
We should fix pg_dump to handle things this way, but this commit just deals
with the backend.

- "Add ON COMMIT capability to CREATE TABLE AS ... SELECT" is done
- "Allow PREPARE to automatically determine parameter types" is done
- "Clean up compiler warnings (especially with gcc version 4)" is done:
AFAIK there are no remaining gcc4 compiler warnings to be fixed.

In src/backend/utils/mb/Unicode remove nearly duplicate copies of the
UCS_to_XXX perl script and replace with one version to handle all generic
files. Update the Makefile so that it knows about all the map files.
This produces a slight difference in some of the map files, using a
uniform naming convention and not mapping the null character.
In src/backend/utils/mb/conversion_procs create a master utf8<->win
codepage function like the ISO 8859 versions instead of having a separate
handler for each conversion.
There is an externally visible change in the name of the win1258 to utf8
conversion. According to the documentation notes, it was named
incorrectly and this changes it to a standard name.
Running the Unicode mapping perl scripts has shown some additional mapping
changes in koi8r and iso8859-7.
