number
    or date so be carefull when porting to PostgreSQL to use trunc() for number

    date_trunc() for date.

* Opcode is not statically loaded anymore. Instead, we load Dynaloader,
which then can grab Opcode (and anything else you can 'use') on its own.

* Checked to work on FreeBSD 4.3 + perl 5.5.3 , OpenBSD 2.8 + perl5.6.1,
RedHat 6.2 + perl 5.5.3

Do some restructuring to improve performance of the catcaches.  Teach
CatalogCacheFlushRelation (formerly called SystemCacheRelationFlushed)
how to distinguish tuples it should flush from those it needn't; this
means a relcache flush event now only removes the catcache entries
it ought to, rather than zapping the caches completely as it used to.
Testing with the regression tests indicates that this considerably
improves the lifespan of catcache entries.  Also, rearrange catcache
data structures so that the limit on number of cached tuples applies
globally across all the catcaches, rather than being per-catcache.
It was a little silly to have the same size limit on both, say,
pg_attribute caches and pg_am caches (there being only four possible
rows in the latter...).  Doing LRU removal across all the caches
instead of locally in each one should reduce cache reload traffic
in the more heavily used caches and improve the efficiency of
cache memory use.
