duplicative -DFRONTEND flags from many Makefiles. We still need Makefile
control of the symbol in a few places that compile frontend-or-backend
src/port/ files, but it's a lot cleaner than before.

builds all the files needed for its regression tests, but the tests
themselves fail because of diffs in the #line directives output by
ecpg itself. Not sure what to do about that.
was integrated into ecpg_informix.h, the other ones go into their own
subdirectory that is automatically considered by the embedded preprocessor
when in Informix mode.
DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.
DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because
a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.
b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.
(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)

standard targets and behaviour. Replaced Makefile.in's with
Makefile's and declared the respective variables in Makefile.global.
maintainer-clean target now available at top level, although it does
not work in the backend tree yet.
Cleanup pass over Makefile.shlib, renamed some targets and variables.
The shared library symlink tests are now done by make, not the shell.
ecpg: Remove one warning in sloppy flex output.
PL/Perl and Perl interface: the MakeMaker documentation is confusing,
the realclean target *does* "delete derived files", but it also
uninstalls them. Don't use that.
The submake targets in the various bin directories that update libpq
should `make all', not `make libpq.a'. That is a) unportable, and
b) doesn't build the shared library.
the ecpg Makefiles use a variable DESTDIR which is never defined
except by debian/rules makefile, in which case the ecpg makefiles
expand wrong pathnames. If we want to support a DESTDIR root it
must be done consistently in all the makefiles, not just in ecpg.

- Put operator "->" back into parser. Note that :foo->bar means the
C term, but :foo ->bar means the operator "->".
Tue Apr 28 15:49:07 CEST 1998
- Added exec sql disconnect command.
- Allow varchar in C to be written in uppercase too.
- Added whenever option "do break;"
Wed Apr 29 09:17:53 CEST 1998
- Corrected parsing of C comments.
- Also allow C++ style comments.
- Make sure not found is only checked after commands that could
return it.
- Added error codes, see ecpgerror.h for details.
- Added "exec sql <TransactionStmt> release" as disconnect statement
for compatibility issues.
Thu Apr 30 10:42:10 CEST 1998
- Added a -t option to disable automatic transaction start.
- Added sqlerrd[] to sqlca struct.
- Give back number of tuples affect in sqlca.sqlerrd[2].
Thu Apr 30 13:36:02 CEST 1998
- Make the return code different in case of different errors.
Wed May 6 11:42:48 CEST 1998
- Free memory if possible
- Some bugfixes for bugs I found while changing the memory
allocation code
- Now able to fill complete array with one call (see test1.pgc for
an example)
- Set version to 2.3.0
- Set library version to 2.1
Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make
depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate.
It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN
and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh
a little smarter.
This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with
a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be
renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) )
This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to
complete.
Please review and apply,
Cheers,
Jeroen van Vianen
