Tom Lane 16974ee910 Get rid of the former rather baroque mechanism for propagating the values
of ThisStartUpID and RedoRecPtr into new backends.  It's a lot easier just
to make them all grab the values out of shared memory during startup.
This helps to decouple the postmaster from checkpoint execution, which I
need since I'm intending to let the bgwriter do it instead, and it also
fixes a bug in the Win32 port: ThisStartUpID wasn't getting propagated at
all AFAICS.  (Doesn't give me a lot of faith in the amount of testing that
port has gotten.)

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains several language
bindings, including C and Tcl.

The JDBC, ODBC, C++, and Python interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL
Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance.
A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
