< 	o Add long file support for binary pg_dump output

< 	  While Win32 supports 64-bit files, the MinGW API does not,
< 	  meaning we have to build an fseeko replacement on top of the
< 	  Win32 API, and we have to make sure MinGW handles it.  Another
< 	  option is to wait for the MinGW project to fix it, or use the
< 	  code from the LibGW32C project as a guide.

4ebb0cf9c3 Add two new format fields for use with to_char(), to_date() and
to_timestamp():
    - ID for day-of-week
    - IDDD for day-of-year

This makes it possible to convert ISO week dates to and from text
fully represented in either week ('IYYY-IW-ID') or day-of-year
('IYYY-IDDD') format.

I have also added an 'isoyear' field for use with extract / date_part.
