4afab9639a Alter the signature for encoding conversion functions to declare the 
output area as INTERNAL not CSTRING.  This is to prevent people from
calling the functions by hand.  This is a permanent solution for the
back branches but I hope it is just a stopgap for HEAD.

291cd954fb Change Win32 O_SYNC method to O_DSYNC because that is what the method 
currently does.  This is now the default Win32 wal sync method because
we perfer o_datasync to fsync.

Also, change Win32 fsync to a new wal sync method called
fsync_writethrough because that is the behavior of _commit, which is
what is used for fsync on Win32.

Backpatch to 8.0.X.

4e8af8d273 Replace ARC cache management algorithm with the similar but slightly 
simpler 2Q algorithm, to avoid possible problems with the pending patent
on ARC.  Testing so far suggests that there is little if any performance
loss from doing this.

Note that this patch is going into the 8.0 branch only; a much more
extensive revision is planned for HEAD.

aa060cd714 Close all cursors created during a failed subtransaction. This is needed 
to avoid problems when a cursor depends on objects created or changed in
the same subtransaction.  We'd like to do better someday, but this seems
the only workable answer for 8.0.1.

2ff501590b Tag appropriate files for rc3 
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...

d9236a69fc Make libpq default to localhost connections on machines without Unix-domain

thereby-obsoleted patch to make psql supply the localhost default.

370f90970d Cause pg_hba.conf file inclusion (@file stuff) to behave as documented, 
that is, files are sought in the same directory as the referencing file.
Also allow absolute paths in @file constructs.  Improve documentation
to actually say what is allowed in an included file.
