Separate targets "make docs" and "make install-docs" for the documentation

It is no longer installed by default, but included in "make world"/"make
install-world".  Documentation updated accordingly.

Also, fix vpathsearch function to work when calling make install-docs
without previous make docs.

Fix thinko in new installcheck-world target

Add new make targets "world", "install-world" and "installcheck-world" to build, install and check just about everything.
In addition to everything built installed and tested by all, install and installcheck targets, these build HTML Docs,
build and test contrib, and test PLs and ECPG.

Build bzip2 tarball in dist target as well

Remove some leftovers of split tarball support

Be able to easily figure out the target directory of "make dist".

Ship documentation without intermediate tarballs

Documentation files in HTML and man formats are now prepared for
distribution using the distprep make target, like everything else.  They
are placed in doc/src/sgml/html and manX and installed from there by
make install, if present.  The business with the tarballs in the tarball
is gone.

Expand test coverage support to entire tree

Test coverage support now covers the entire source tree, including
contrib, instead of just src/backend.  In a related but independent
development, the commands make coverage and make coverage-html can be run
in any directory.

This turned out to be much easier than feared.  Besides a few ad hoc fixes
to pass the make target down the tree, change all affected makefiles to
list their directories in the SUBDIRS variable, changed from variants like
DIRS and WANTED_DIRS.  MSVC build fix was attempted as well.

Modify distdir rule to skip .git directory.

Call genhtml with --prefix option so local build paths don't appear in the
coverage output.

Code coverage testing with gcov.  Documentation is in the regression test
chapter.

Catch all errors in for and while loops in makefiles.  Don't ignore any
errors in any commands, including in various clean targets that have so far
been handled inconsistently.  make -i is available to ignore all errors in
a consistent and official way.

Replace useless uses of := by = in makefiles.

Add installcheck-parallel target to top level makefiles.

Add installcheck-parallel target to top level makefiles.

Add installcheck-parallel target to top level makefiles.

Build src/test/regress/README during tarball making like the other
generated text files.  Fix build of that file, too.

Put the text files in the right place during make dist, so there are no
extra manual steps required anymore.

Put flex'ed and bison'ed files in contrib in the distribution tarball, as
is done for the analogous files in the main distribution.

Remove registration message in all the supported back branches;
we had decided to drop it for 7.4, and no one misses it.

Remove the contents of the src/corba subdirectory: this has been dead code
for a long time.

please find attached an alternate submission which addresses open item
"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose.

(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
    it simplifies/changes several makefiles.

(2) the documentation reflects the change.

(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.

PostgreSQL extension makefile framework ("pgxs"), by Fabien Coelho, with
some massaging by Peter Eisentraut.  This is basically a simple
generalization of the existing contrib makefiles.

Remove README.CVS when making a distribution.

Remove README.CVS when making a distribution.

Remove all of the libpgtcl and pgtclsh files, including all references to
them within the various makefiles

with_tcl is still required for the src/pl/tcl language

Remove JDBC from the build system and documentation, too.

testing $PostgreSQL$ tag

Remove registration message, after discussion concluded that it was of
little use.

can't mix and match .gz and .bz2 in here ... won't build

seeing if building bz2 distributions actually works ...

remove src/data from target list

python needs to be removed from here

First step to removing /contrib/retep, with Peter Mount's approval.

Adjust the tarball splitting scheme to the new reality.

remove pgaccess from GNUmakefile.in if we want the beta to build :)

perl5 interface moved to gborg

Remove all traces of the ODBC driver, which is now on GBorg as the psqlodbc
project ...

Okay, libpq++ is moved to GBorg, and all traces of it have been removed
from the core repository ... I haven't *moved* the libpq++ files out of the
tree, mainly as we want to keep them in place for past branches ...

Peter, I think I've covered all the files I need, and re-ran autoconf to make
sure the configure file is in place properly ...

Upgrade to Autoconf version 2.53.  Replaced many custom macro
calls with new or now-built-in versions.  Make sure that all
calls to AC_DEFINE have a third argument, for possible use of
autoheader in the future.

/doc/src -> /doc for Peter.

Remove mention of internals.ps.

Point to doc/src/postgres.tar.gz, which is where the tarball will be
built, not /doc.

Fix beta build, for Marc.

Unify the zip rules and variables.

Rearrange distribution split as discussed on -hackers.

Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: there
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively.  By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory.  There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

Use more portable syntax for 'find'.

Seems like make clean or make distclean should clean out contrib
directories too, not only src and doc.

"installcheck" doesn't need to depend on "all" since we depend on the user
to start up a postmaster anyway.

New unified regression test driver, test/regress makefile cleanup,
add "check" and "installcheck" targets, straighten out make variable naming
of host_os, host_cpu, etc.

Replace brain-dead Autoconf macros AC_ARG_{ENABLE,WITH} with something
that's actually useful, robust, consistent.

Better plan to generate aclocal.m4 as well: use m4 include directives,
rather than cat.

Fix relative path references so that make knowns which dependencies refer
to one another. Sort out builddir vs srcdir variable namings. Remove some
now obsoleted make variables.

coupla minor fixes in the `make dist' support code

Add distprep target to take some of the job of the release_prep script.
The latter updated accordingly. Also add `dist' and `distcheck' targets
to play with, but caveat packager.

Updated backend/bootstrap and backend/parser makefile to make them
marginally builddir aware and fix the usual set of things.

Add rule to automatically remake config.h dependent on config.h.in and
config.status. (Adopted from Autoconf manual and about every other
package.) On a good day we should now have a complete and accurate set
of dependencies throughout everything.

End users shouldn't have to invoke a separate command to install the
documentation. Therefore it's now installed by default. If there is no
documentation to be found (i.e., you are not using the distribution)
then this step is skipped.

Add --docdir option to configure to control installation directory.

Automatic dependency tracking

The .DEFAULT rule in backend/Makefile is harmful -- removed.
Replace `::' rules by `:'.

Makefile cleanup for interface tree. Now essentially with all the
standard targets and behaviour. Replaced Makefile.in's with
Makefile's and declared the respective variables in Makefile.global.

maintainer-clean target now available at top level, although it does
not work in the backend tree yet.

Cleanup pass over Makefile.shlib, renamed some targets and variables.
The shared library symlink tests are now done by make, not the shell.

ecpg: Remove one warning in sloppy flex output.

PL/Perl and Perl interface: the MakeMaker documentation is confusing,
the realclean target *does* "delete derived files", but it also
uninstalls them. Don't use that.

The submake targets in the various bin directories that update libpq
should `make all', not `make libpq.a'. That is a) unportable, and
b) doesn't build the shared library.

Big warnings cleanup for Solaris/GCC. Down to about 40 now, but
we'll get there one day.

Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't
have automake installed.

Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the
invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically
because of CVS timestamp skew.

Remove overenthusiastic use of dependencies to control autoconf.

Moved the intricacies of the perl interface build into its own makefile
that now functions as a wrapper around the MakeMaker stuff. It might
even behave sensically when we have separate build dirs. Same for plperl,
which of course still doesn't work very well. Made sure that plperl
respects the choice of --libdir.

Added --with-python to automatically build and install the Python interface.
Works similarly to the Perl5 stuff.

Moved the burden of the distclean targets lower down into the source tree.
Eventually, each make file should have its own.

Added automatic remaking of makefiles and configure. Currently only for the
top-level because of a bug(?) in Autoconf. Use GNU `missing' to work around
missing autoconf and aclocal. Start factoring out macros into their own
config/*.m4 files to increase readability and organization.

Ouch, that should be `$(MAKE) -C', not `make -C' ...

Moved configure script from src/ to the top level directory. Moved
configuration helper things into config/ dir. Adjusted some relative paths
in makefiles.
