Two patches included:
- the first one enables the use of bool variables in fields which might
become NULL.
Up to now the lib told you that NULL is not a bool variable, even if
you provide a indicator.
- the second patch checks whether a value is null and issues an error if
no indicator is provided.
Sidenote: IIRC, the variable should be left alone if the value is NULL.
ECPGlib sets it's value to 0 on NULL. Is this a violation of the
standard?

change functionality, but makes the code more ANSI C'ish.
My AIX xlc compiler barfs on all of these. Can someone please
review and apply to current.

Thanks

+
+ - Added 'at <db_connection>' option to all commands it is apllicable
+ to. Due to changing the API of some libecpg functions this
+ requires me to increase the major version number.
+ - Synced pgc.l with scan.l.
+ - Added support for unions.
+ - Set library version to 3.0.0
+ - Set ecpg version to 3.0.0
+

+ - Fixed bug in libecpg that caused it to start transactions only for
+ the first connection.
+ - Set library version to 2.7.1
src/Makefile.shlib. Updated all the makefiles that try to build shlibs
to include that file instead of having duplicate (and mostly incomplete)
copies of shared-library options. It works on HPUX, a lot better than it
did before in fact, but there's a chance I broke some other platforms.
At least now you only have to fix one place not six...
Get the permissions right, don't overwrite real files with symlinks, etc.
plpgsql and odbc still aren't fully up to speed, but at least they don't crash and burn...
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.

Check strdup calls for out of memory.
Set library version to 2.6.2
Synced preproc.y and keywords.c with gram.y and keywords.c yet again.
Set version to 2.4.3
structs from libpq-fe.h, as we previously discussed.
There turned out to be sloppy coding practices in more places than
I had realized :-(, but all in all I think it was a well-worth-while
exercise.
I ended up adding several routines to libpq's API in order to respond
to application requirements that were exposed by this work. I owe the
docs crew updates for libpq.sgml to describe these changes. I'm way too
tired to work on the docs tonight, however.
This is the last major change I intend to submit for 6.4. I do want
to see if I can make libpgtcl work with Tcl 8.0 before we go final,
but hopefully that will be a minor bug fix.
This one is against the current archive (so it contains the one I send the
other day). It should fix the AIX problems. Andreas, could you please try
it? Thanks.
