Forget to add new file :((
Changes
* new split algorithm (as proposed in http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-06/msg00254.php)
* possible call pickSplit() for second and below columns
* add spl_(l|r)datum_exists to GIST_SPLITVEC -
pickSplit should check its values to use already defined
spl_(l|r)datum for splitting. pickSplit should set
spl_(l|r)datum_exists to 'false' (if they was 'true') to
signal to caller about using spl_(l|r)datum.
* support for old pickSplit(): not very optimal
but correct split
* remove 'bytes' field from GISTENTRY: in any case size of
value is defined by it's type.
* split GIST_SPLITVEC to two structures: one for using in picksplit
and second - for internal use.
* some code refactoring
* support of subsplit to rtree opclasses

Put #ifdef NOT_USED around posix_fadvise call. We may want to resurrect

Extend the MinimalTuple concept to tuplesort.c, thereby reducing the
per-tuple space overhead for sorts in memory. I chose to replace the
previous patch that tried to write out the bare minimum amount of data
when sorting on disk; instead, just dump the MinimalTuples as-is. This
wastes 3 to 10 bytes per tuple depending on architecture and null-bitmap
length, but the simplification in the writetup/readtup routines seems
worth it.
Will revert in next patch more cleanly.

Clamp last_anl_tuples to n_live_tuples, in case we vacuum a table without
analyzing, so that future analyze threshold calculations don't get confused.
Also, make sure we correctly track the decrease of live tuples cause by

Change the row constructor syntax (ROW(...)) so that list elements foo.*
will be expanded to a list of their member fields, rather than creating
a nested rowtype field as formerly. (The old behavior is still available
by omitting '.*'.) This syntax is not allowed by the SQL spec AFAICS,
so changing its behavior doesn't violate the spec. The new behavior is
substantially more useful since it allows, for example, triggers to check
for data changes with 'if row(new.*) is distinct from row(old.*)'. Per
my recent proposal.
Added missing braces to prevent a segfault after usage of an undeclared cursor.

Tweak dynahash.c to avoid wasting memory space in non-shared hash tables.
palloc() will normally round allocation requests up to the next power of 2,

Our version of getopt_long does not set optarg upon detecting an error, as
opposed to what other versions apparently do, so it's not safe to print an
error message. Besides, getopt_long itself already did, so it's redundant
anyway.

Fix Win32/Cygwin problems:
After updating to the latest cvs, and also building most of the addons
(like PLs), the following patch is neededf for win32 + Visual C++.
* Switch to use the new win32 semaphore code
* Rename win32_open to pgwin32_open. win32_open collides with symbols
defined in Perl. MingW didn't detect ig, MSVC did. And it's a bit too
generic a name to export globally, imho...

Remove redundant gettimeofday() calls to the extent practical without
changing semantics too much. statement_timestamp is now set immediately

value for pg_stat_activity.query_start for both the command itself and
its eventual replacement by <IDLE> or <idle in transaction>. There was
some debate about that, but no argument that seemed convincing enough to
justify an extra gettimeofday() call.

Split definitions for md5.c out of crypt.h and into their own header

the problem of course, but it should reduce the probability enough that

Fix problems with cached tuple descriptors disappearing while still in use
by creating a reference-count mechanism, similar to what we did a long time
ago for catcache entries. The back branches have an ugly solution involving
lots of extra copies, but this way is more efficient. Reference counting is
only applied to tupdescs that are actually in caches --- there seems no need
to use it for tupdescs that are generated in the executor, since they'll go
away during plan shutdown by virtue of being in the per-query memory context.
