I have included a couple of patches that will make postgres

compile out of the tar file on Solaris with the SUN 5.0 compilers.
These compilers will be needed if you wan to compile the libpg++
interface without using the gcc/g++. The SC4.2 compilers do not
understand the string class.

The first patch changes the ecpg intermediate shared library
name from *.sho to *.sho.o so that the SUN compiler will
allow it to be used in conjunction with the -o option.
