Make version.sgml the central place for updating version numbers in the

filelist.sgml is the central (and only) place to declare system entities

header.
There is no longer any need to maintain duplicate chapter lists in
postgres.sgml and user/admin/etc.sgml, everything is build from the same
sources. Some parameter entities allow for different text to be included
when the integrated or a single doc set is generated, which eliminates the
problems that had caused this to fail in the past.

Make oidin/oidout produce and consume unsigned representation of Oid,
rather than just being aliases for int4in/int4out. Give type Oid a
full set of comparison operators that do proper unsigned comparison,
instead of reusing the int4 comparators. Since pg_dump is now doing
unsigned comparisons of OIDs, it is now *necessary* that we play by
the rules here. In fact, given that btoidcmp() has been doing unsigned
comparison for quite some time, it seems likely that we have index-
corruption problems in 7.0 and before once the Oid counter goes past
2G. Fixing these operators is a necessary step before we can think
about 8-byte Oid, too.

Revise handling of oldstyle/newstyle functions per recent discussions
in pghackers list. Support for oldstyle internal functions is gone
(no longer needed, since conversion is complete) and pg_language entry
'internal' now implies newstyle call convention. pg_language entry
'newC' is gone; both old and newstyle dynamically loaded C functions
are now called language 'C'. A newstyle function must be identified

Modify locale code to defend against possibility that it was compiled
with an -fsigned-char/-funsigned-char setting opposite to that of libc,
thus breaking the convention that 'undefined' values returned by
localeconv() are represented by CHAR_MAX. It is sheer stupidity that
gcc even has such a switch --- it's just as bad as the structure-packing
control switches offered by the more brain-dead PC compilers --- and
as for the behavior of Linux distribution vendors who set RPM_OPT_FLAGS
differently from the way they built libc, well, words fail me...

Extend CREATE DATABASE to allow selection of a template database to be
cloned, rather than always cloning template1. Modify initdb to generate
two identical databases rather than one, template0 and template1.
Connections to template0 are disallowed, so that it will always remain
in its virgin as-initdb'd state. pg_dumpall now dumps databases with
restore commands that say CREATE DATABASE foo WITH TEMPLATE = template0.
This allows proper behavior when there is user-added data in template1.
initdb forced!
