* Remove arbitrary mention of certain endianness and bitness variants; it's enough to say that applicable variants are expected to work. * List RISC-V (known to work, being tested). * List SuperH and M88K (code exists, unknown status, like M68K). * De-list VAX and remove code (known not to work). * Remove stray trace of Alpha (support was removed years ago). * List illumos, DragonFlyBSD (known to work, being tested). * No need to single Windows out by listing a specific version, when we don't do that for other OSes; it's enough to say that we support current versions of the listed OSes (when 16 ships, that'll be Windows 10+).

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
