elog-lineno.patch

        useful when you load a 1 million tuples table from an external file
        and there is a bad value somehere. Currently you get an error message

        and initialized to 0. It is always cleared at the end of the copy

tprintf-timestamp.patch

        century digits don't carry much information and that '000202' is
        easier to read than 20000202. Being only a log file it shouldn't
        break anything.

Please apply the patches before the next scheduled code freeze.

I also noticed that some of the contribs don't compile correcly. Should we
ask people to fix their code or rename their makefiles so that they are
ignored by the top makefile?
