c1f91a38e2 Fix rewrite code so that rules are in fact executed in order by name,
rather than being reordered according to INSTEAD attribute for
implementation convenience.
Also, increase compiled-in recursion depth limit from 10 to 100 rewrite
cycles.  10 seems pretty marginal for situations where multiple rules
exist for the same query.  There was a complaint about this recently,
so I'm going to bump it up.  (Perhaps we should make the limit a GUC
parameter, but that's too close to being a new feature to do in beta.)

44dc9c1faa Fix psql's \copy to accept table names containing schemas, as well as
a column list.  Bring its parsing of quoted names and quoted strings
somewhat up to speed --- I believe it now handles all non-error cases
the same way the backend would, but weird boundary conditions are not
necessarily done the same way.

8fc1f413f4 - Link the entries in the table to the catalog heading
- Wrap them in the <database class="table"> tags, since thats what they
are (no markup rules for this, so it inherits from parent -- no style
change)
- Mention that pg_database, pg_shadow, and pg_group are global, and the
rest are local to the specific DB. (I believe this is correct).

Ok, new patch.

Attached is a patch to fix the mb linking problems on AIX. As a nice side effect

it reduces the duplicate symbol warnings to linking libpq.so and libecpg.so
(all shlibs that are not postmaster loadable modules).

Please apply to current (only affects AIX).

The _LARGE_FILES problem is unfortunately still open, unless Peter
has fixed it per his recent idea.

d2db166c75 Require superuser privilege to create a binary-compatible cast, per

they don't then it's surely a mistake to equivalence them.
