Hey, the odbc stuff no longer installs. There is a softlink from what
used to be the shared library to itself. What were you trying to
accomplish with the patch? I'm not sure I'll fix it correctly if I don't
know where you are headed with it...

In general, it's ok to have the actual library be named with an explicit
major and minor version number, then have softlinks with a name having
the major version and no version number, right?

odbc installation broken
I've committed changes to the configure scripts which make a more
uniform naming and softlinking of installed shared libraries for the
various packages. The naming convention is that which has been used by
Postgres in the past as well as that used on my Linux machine (i.e.
library name with full major and minor version appended to the name,
then softlinks for just the library name and the name with the major
version only).

So, libpq is named libpq.so.2.0, and there are softlinks libpq.so.2 and
libpq.so. I've adjusted the other libraries (or cleaned up code which
already did it) to do the same thing. In the same cleanup, I have the
code now using the existing $(DLSUFFIX) parameter from Makefile.global
as intended for naming the shared libraries.

Also, I've adjusted the configure.in (and configure) to detect all flags
necessary for cpp (from Taral) and adjusted Gen_fmgrtab.sh.in to use
them. I added a genbki.sh.in so that the genbki.sh script can also use
the auto-detected cpp configuration. Formerly, these were hardcoded into
the scripts.

This will require a "configure" for an updated tree to start using the
new genbki.sh.in .

Please report any problems asap...
