* Allow cross-compiling by generating the zic database on the target system
* Improve NLS maintenace of libpgport messages linked onto applications
* Allow ecpg to work with MSVC and BCC
-* Allow building with directories containing spaces
-
- There are two capabilities here, first the ability to build from a
- source directory that contains spaces, and second the ability to install
- into a directory that contains spaces. The first is probably not
- possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools do not fully support
- spaces in path names. The second is possible with proper quoting in
- the makefiles. Because PostgreSQL supports relocatable installs, it
- is possible to install into a directory that doesn't contain spaces and
- then copy the install to a directory with spaces.

+* Allow installing to directories containing spaces
+
+ This is possible if proper quoting is added to the makefiles for the
+ install targets. Because PostgreSQL supports relocatable installs, it
+ is already possible to install into a directory that doesn't contain
+ spaces and then copy the install to a directory with spaces.

o Remove configure.in check for link failure when cause is found
