Remove "sco" and "unixware" ports.

Browse Source 
SCO OpenServer and SCO UnixWare are more or less dead platforms.
We have never had a buildfarm member testing the "sco" port, and
the last "unixware" member was last heard from in 2012, so it's
fair to doubt that the code even compiles anymore on either one.
Remove both ports.  We can always undo this if someone shows up
with an interest in maintaining and testing these platforms.

PostgreSQL can be built on SCO UnixWare 7 and SCO OpenServer 5.
On OpenServer, you can use either the OpenServer Development Kit
or the Universal Development Kit. However, some tweaking may be
needed, as described below.

<title>Skunkware</title>
<para>
You should locate your copy of the SCO Skunkware CD. The
Skunkware CD is included with UnixWare 7 and current versions of
OpenServer 5. Skunkware includes ready-to-install versions of
many popular programs that are available on the Internet. For
example, gzip, gunzip, GNU Make, Flex, and Bison are all
included. For UnixWare 7.1, this CD is now labeled "Open License
Software Supplement". If you do not have this CD, the software
on it is available
from <ulink url="http://www.sco.com/skunkware/"></ulink>.
</para>
<para>
Skunkware has different versions for UnixWare and OpenServer.
Make sure you install the correct version for your operating
system, except as noted below.
</para>
<para>
On UnixWare 7.1.3 and beyond, the GCC compiler is included on the
UDK CD as is GNU Make.
</para>
</sect3>
<sect3>
<title>GNU Make</title>
<para>
You need to use the GNU Make program, which is on the Skunkware
CD. By default, it installs
as <filename>/usr/local/bin/make</filename>.
</para>
<para>
As of UnixWare 7.1.3 and above, the GNU Make program is the
OSTK portion of the UDK CD, and is
in <filename>/usr/gnu/bin/gmake</filename>.
</para>

<sect3>
<title>Readline</title>
<para>
The Readline library is on the Skunkware CD. But it is not
included on the UnixWare 7.1 Skunkware CD. If you have the
UnixWare 7.0.0 or 7.0.1 Skunkware CDs, you can install it from
there. Otherwise,
try <ulink url="http://www.sco.com/skunkware/"></ulink>.
</para>
<para>
By default, Readline installs into <filename>/usr/local/lib</> and
<filename>/usr/local/include</>. However, the
PostgreSQL <command>configure</command> program will not find it
there without help. If you installed Readline, then use the
following options to <command>configure</command>:
<programlisting>
./configure --with-libraries=/usr/local/lib --with-includes=/usr/local/include
</programlisting>
</para>
</sect3>
<sect3>
<title>Using the UDK on OpenServer</title>
<para>
If you are using the new Universal Development Kit (UDK) compiler
on OpenServer, you need to specify the locations of the UDK
libraries:
<programlisting>
./configure --with-libraries=/udk/usr/lib --with-includes=/udk/usr/include
</programlisting>
Putting these together with the Readline options from above:
<programlisting>
./configure --with-libraries="/udk/usr/lib /usr/local/lib" --with-includes="/udk/usr/include /usr/local/include"
</programlisting>
</para>
</sect3>

<title>Reading the PostgreSQL Man Pages</title>
<para>
By default, the PostgreSQL man pages are installed into
<filename>/usr/local/pgsql/share/man</filename>. By default, UnixWare
does not look there for man pages. To be able to read them you
need to modify the
<varname>MANPATH</varname> variable
in <filename>/etc/default/man</filename>, for example:
<programlisting>
MANPATH=/usr/lib/scohelp/%L/man:/usr/dt/man:/usr/man:/usr/share/man:scohelp:/usr/local/man:/usr/local/pgsql/share/man
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
On OpenServer, some extra research needs to be invested to make
the man pages usable, because the man system is a bit different
from other platforms. Currently, PostgreSQL will not install
them at all.

<title>C99 Issues with the 7.1.1b Feature Supplement</title>
<para>
For compilers earlier than the one released with OpenUNIX 8.0.0
(UnixWare 7.1.2), including the 7.1.1b Feature Supplement, you
may need to specify <option>-Xb</option>
in <varname>CFLAGS</varname> or the <varname>CC</varname>
environment variable. The indication of this is an error in
compiling <filename>tuplesort.c</filename> referencing inline
functions. Apparently there was a change in the 7.1.2(8.0.0)
compiler and beyond.
