In particular, no more compiled-in default for PGDATA or LIBDIR. Commands
that need them need either invocation options or environment variables.
PGPORT default is hardcoded as 5432, but overrideable with options or
environment variables.
Changes:
* Unique index capability works using the syntax 'create unique
index'.
* Duplicate OID's in the system tables are removed. I put
little scripts called 'duplicate_oids' and 'find_oid' in
include/catalog that help to find and remove duplicate OID's.
I also moved 'unused_oids' from backend/catalog to
include/catalog, since it has to be in the same directory
as the include files in order to work.
* The backend tries converting the name of a function or aggregate
to all lowercase if the original name given doesn't work (mostly
for compatibility with ODBC).
* You can 'SELECT NULL' to your heart's content.
* I put my _bt_updateitem fix in instead, which uses
_bt_insertonpg so that even if the new key is so big that
the page has to be split, everything still works.
* All literal references to system catalog OID's have been
replaced with references to define'd constants from the catalog
header files.
* I added a couple of node copy functions. I think this was a
preliminary attempt to get rules to work.
to be sleazy and reach into other subsystems' directories. First entry in
this directory is the PG_VERSION file interface, which must be used by the
backend and also the pg_version program (which is used by initdb).

-----
more changes to makefile.global from D'Arcy
following is the patch to libpq's large object interface that
removes the requirement to include fmgr.h into fe-lobj.c.
The large object interface now ask's the backend to tell the
OID's of all the required functions in pg_proc.
