These changes are backward compatible.
The actual plpython module appears to need significant updates to support
Python 3.0, though. This change just relieves interested developers from
having to deal with Autoconf.

pg_stat_statements, or pretty much anything else that wants a GUC to
control size of a shared memory allocation.
initialization, to give loadable modules a reasonable place to perform
creation of any shared memory areas they need. This is the logical conclusion
of our previous creation of RequestAddinShmemSpace() and RequestAddinLWLocks().
We don't need an explicit shmem_shutdown_hook, because the existing
on_shmem_exit and on_proc_exit mechanisms serve that need.
Also, adjust SubPostmasterMain so that libraries that got loaded into the
postmaster will be loaded into all child processes, not only regular backends.
This improves consistency with the non-EXEC_BACKEND behavior, and might be
necessary for functionality for some types of add-ons.
practically free given prior 8.4 changes in plancache and portal management,
and it makes it a lot easier for ExecutorStart/Run/End hooks to get at the
query text. Extracted from Itagaki Takahiro's pg_stat_statements patch,
with minor editorialization.
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.
and change auto_explain's custom GUC variables to be named auto_explain.xxx
not just explain.xxx. Per discussion in connection with the
pg_stat_statements patch, it seems like a good idea to have the convention
that custom variable classes are named the same as their defining module.
Committing separately since this should happen regardless of what happens
with pg_stat_statements itself.
is available during datatype input in Bind message processing. I put the
PopActiveSnapshot() or equivalent just before PortalDefineQuery, which is
an unsafe spot for it (in 8.3 and later) because we are carrying a plancache
refcount that hasn't yet been assigned to the portal. Any error thrown there
would result in leaking the refcount. It's not exactly likely that
PopActiveSnapshot would throw an elog, perhaps, but it could happen.
Reorder the code and add another comment warning not to do that.

In passing, fix some infelicities in the newly added \d commands for SQL-MED

so that user-defined window functions are possible. For the moment you'll
have to write them in C, for lack of any interface to the WindowObject API
in the available PLs, but it's better than no support at all.
There was some debate about the best syntax for this. I ended up choosing
the "it's an attribute" position --- the other approach will inevitably be
more work, and the likely market for user-defined window functions is
probably too small to justify it.
patch. This includes the ability to force the frame to cover the whole
partition, and the ability to make the frame end exactly on the current row
rather than its last ORDER BY peer. Supporting any more of the full SQL
frame-clause syntax will require nontrivial hacking on the window aggregate
code, so it'll have to wait for 8.5 or beyond.
field needs to be included in equalRuleLocks() comparisons, else updates
will fail to propagate into relcache entries when they have positive
reference count (ie someone is using the relcache entry).

upcoming window-functions patch. First, tuplestore_trim is now an
exported function that must be explicitly invoked by callers at
appropriate times, rather than something that tuplestore tries to do
behind the scenes. Second, a read pointer that is marked as allowing
backward scan no longer prevents truncation. This means that a read pointer
marked as having BACKWARD but not REWIND capability can only safely read
backwards as far as the oldest other read pointer. (The expected use pattern
for this involves having another read pointer that serves as the truncation
fencepost.)
This doesn't do any remote or external things yet, but it gives modules
like plproxy and dblink a standardized and future-proof system for
managing their connection information.

to print out such constructs properly. Found by noting bogus output from
recent changes in polymorphism regression test.
materialize-mode set results. Since it now uses the ReturnSetInfo node
to hold internal state, we need to be sure to set up the node even when
the immediately called function doesn't return set (but does have a set-valued
argument). Per report from Anupama Aherrao.
