Teodor Sigaev ef770cbb69 Fixes from Janko Richter <jankorichter@yahoo.de>
- Fix wrong index results on text, char, varchar for multibyte strings
- Fix some SIGFPE signals
- Add support for infinite timestamps
- Because of locale settings, btree_gist can not be a prefix index anymore (for text).
  Each node holds now just the lower and upper boundary.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------

This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because
they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of
the main source tree.  This does not preclude their usefulness.

Each subdirectory contains a README file with information about the
module.  Most items can be built with `gmake all' and installed with
`gmake install' in the usual fashion, after you have run the `configure'
script in the top-level directory.  Some directories supply new
user-defined functions, operators, or types.  In these cases, after you have
installed the files you need to register the new entities in the database
system by running the commands in the supplied .sql file.  For example,

	$ psql -d dbname -f module.sql

See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
