The attached patch defines functions for getting distances between
points on the surface of the earth and locating points within a
specified distance using an index based on the contrib/cube package. The
new functions are all of language type sql. A couple of bugs in the old
earthdistance function based on the point datatype are fixed. A
regression test has been added for both sets of functions. The README

are comments about how this package is also useful for Astronomers.

We still need two geometry 'expected' files to account for the
difference between platforms that display minus zero as '-0' and those
that just say '0', but with luck that's all we'll need.

First phase of implementing hash-based grouping/aggregation.  An AGG plan
node now does its own grouping of the input rows, and has no need for a
preceding GROUP node in the plan pipeline.  This allows elimination of
the misnamed tuplePerGroup option for GROUP, and actually saves more code
in nodeGroup.c than it costs in nodeAgg.c, as well as being presumably
faster.  Restructure the API of query_planner so that we do not commit to
using a sorted or unsorted plan in query_planner; instead grouping_planner
makes the decision.  (Right now it isn't any smarter than query_planner
was, but that will change as soon as it has the option to select a hash-
based aggregation step.)  Despite all the hackery, no initdb needed since
