preprocessor and the library. This is useful for a number of reasons:
* The preprocessor and the library are in some cases installed in separate
packages and used by different classes of users.
* The library MO files need a different versioning scheme to account for the
soname.
* The makefiles are simpler, more robust, and easier to maintain this way.
(NLS web site was prone to break everytime a build rule changes.)
* Translators might choose to focus on the ecpglib, because that is more
user-facing.
* There was virtually no overlap, so nothing is lost.

it's connection. This is required for applications that unload
the libpq library (such as PHP) in which case we'd otherwise
have pointers to these functions when they no longer exist.
This needs a bit more testing before we can consider a backpatch,
so not doing that yet.
In passing, remove unused functions in backend/libpq.

Since this means we no longer need fnmatch, remove the imported implementation
from port, along with the autoconf check for it.
results (ie, an empty "broken" buffer) if memory overrun occurs anywhere
along the way to filling the buffer. The previous coding would just silently
discard portions of the intended buffer contents, as exhibited in trouble
report from Sam Mason. Also, tweak psql's main loop to correctly detect
and report such overruns. There's probably much more that should be done
in this line, but this is a start.
libpq. As noted by Peter, adding this variable created a risk of unexpected
connection failures when talking to older server versions, and since it
doesn't do anything you can't do with PGOPTIONS, it doesn't seem really
necessary. Removing it does occasion a few extra lines in pg_regress.c,
but saving a getenv() call per libpq connection attempt is perhaps worth
that anyway.
from DateStyle, and create a new interval style that produces output matching
the SQL standard (at least for interval values that fall within the standard's
restrictions). IntervalStyle is also used to resolve the conflict between the
standard and traditional Postgres rules for interpreting negative interval
input.
