Also, handle failure better: don't just blindly keep trying to delete
stuff after the transaction has already failed.
Tim Lewis, reviewed by Josh Kupershmidt, with further hacking by me.
switch optional, as is the case for every other one of our programs.
I had already documented its -W as being optional, so this is bringing
the code into line with the docs ...
installations whose pg_config program does not appear first in the PATH.
Per gripe from Eddie Stanley and subsequent discussions with Fabien Coelho
and others.
a physically separate type. Defining 'lo' as a domain over OID works
just fine and is more efficient. Improve documentation and fix up the
test script. (Would like to turn test script into a proper regression
test, but right now its output is not constant because of numeric OIDs;
plus it makes Unix-specific assumptions about files it can import.)
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 ...

- remove pointless "extern" keyword from some function definitions in
contrib/tsearch2
- use "NULL" not "0" as NULL pointer in contrib/tsearch,
contrib/tsearch2, contrib/pgbench, and contrib/vacuumlo

only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take
SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON. Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit
logic in libpq.
Create objects in public schema.
Make spacing/capitalization consistent.
Remove transaction block use for object creation.
Remove unneeded function GRANTs.
snprintf() in contrib/. I didn't touch the places where pointer
arithmatic was being used, or other areas where the fix wasn't
trivial. I would think that few, if any, of the usages of sprintf()
were actually exploitable, but it's probably better to be paranoid...

postgres command line utilites e.g. supports -U, -p, -h, -?, -v, password
prompt and has a "test mode". In test mode, no large objects are removed,
just reported.
