Peter Eisentraut 335248c9b7 Support for DESTDIR make variable. This is used as in `make install 
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.)

README 

Based on the original work by William Wanders (wwanders@sci.kun.nl)
and Jolly Chen (jolly@cs.berkeley.edu), this is the first set of
changes to libpq++ since ~1997.  Pgenv has been removed, deprecated 
functions removed and/or updated and error handling rewritten, 
however for the most part it remains as a wrapper around libpq.
The documentation on libpq is recommended reading to understand 
the function of libpq++.

The API provided herein is subject to change in later versions of 
PostgreSQL.

For details on how to to use libpq++, see the man page in the man/
subdirectory and the test programs in the examples/ subdirectory.

** PgConnection has been changed to accept either the environment
variables or conninfo style strings.  See the PQconnectdb in the
documentation on libpq for details.

libpq++ has only been tested with g++, version 2.7.2.1
