c957c0bac7 Code review for XML patch. Instill a bit of sanity in the location of
the XmlExpr code in various lists, use a representation that has some hope
of reverse-listing correctly (though it's still a de-escaping function
shy of correctness), generally try to make it look more like Postgres
coding conventions.

a88ec7b4bb Some more supported-platforms updates: buildfarm hare is alive again,
and penguin reported in recently enough to justify the assumption that
we haven't broken ARM support in 8.2.

bb764e94ce Produce a clean failure in configure when dtrace is selected but cannot be
found.  Besides stopping those early who have no dtrace installed
whatsoever, this will also alert those who have dtrace in /usr/sbin, which
might not be in the path, which would produce confusing failures much later
in the build process.

Add documentation about pointing configure to find dtrace.

Support cross compilation by compiling "zic" with a native compiler.
This relies on the output of zic being platform independent, but that is

a159ad3048 Remove support for Kerberos V4. It seems no one is using this, it has
some security issues, and upstream has declared it "dead". Patch from

7a28de2052 pg_dump can now dump large objects even in plain-text output mode, by
using the recently added lo_create() function.  The restore logic in
pg_restore is greatly simplified as well, since there's no need anymore
to try to adjust database references to match a new set of blob OIDs.

6f7fc0bade Cause initdb to create a third standard database "postgres", which
unlike template0 and template1 does not have any special status in
terms of backend functionality.  However, all external utilities such
as createuser and createdb now connect to "postgres" instead of
template1, and the documentation is changed to encourage people to use
"postgres" instead of template1 as a play area.  This should fix some
longstanding gotchas involving unexpected propagation of database
objects by createdb (when you used template1 without understanding
the implications), as well as ameliorating the problem that CREATE
DATABASE is unhappy if anyone else is connected to template1.
Patch by Dave Page, minor editing by Tom Lane.  All per recent
pghackers discussions.

72c53ac3a7 Allow kerberos name and username case sensitivity to be specified from
postgresql.conf.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Here's an updated version of the patch, with the following changes:

1) No longer uses "service name" as "application version". It's instead
hardcoded as "postgres". It could be argued that this part should be
backpatched to 8.0, but it doesn't make a big difference until you can
start changing it with GUC / connection parameters. This change only
affects kerberos 5, not 4.

2) Now downcases kerberos usernames when the client is running on win32.

3) Adds guc option for "krb_caseins_users" to make the server ignore
case mismatch which is required by some KDCs such as Active Directory.
Off by default, per discussion with Tom. This change only affects
kerberos 5, not 4.

4) Updated so it doesn't conflict with the rendevouz/bonjour patch
already in ;-)
