Tom Lane 3f936aacc0 Add a "LIKE = typename" clause to CREATE TYPE for base types. This allows
the basic representational details (typlen, typalign, typbyval, typstorage)
to be copied from an existing type rather than listed explicitly in the
CREATE TYPE command.  The immediate reason for this is to provide a simple
solution for add-on modules that want to define types represented as int8,
float4, or float8: as of 8.4 the appropriate PASSEDBYVALUE setting is
platform-specific and so it's hard for a SQL script to know what to do.

This patch fixes the contrib/isn breakage reported by Rushabh Lathia.

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 C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
