Fix for parallel make

Install the SQL command man pages into a section appropriate for each

system. Some systems did not understand the 'l' section, and in general it wasn't entirely appropriate. On SCO OpenServer, the man pages won't be installed at all until someone figures out their man system.

Only install the integrated HTML documentation set (not the individual

Support for DESTDIR make variable. This is used as in `make install

DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows users to install the package into a location different from the one that was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating binary packages. DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install prefix=/else/where' because a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths. b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on `prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc. (Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate undertaking.)

End users shouldn't have to invoke a separate command to install the

documentation. Therefore it's now installed by default. If there is no documentation to be found (i.e., you are not using the distribution) then this step is skipped. Add --docdir option to configure to control installation directory.

Automatic dependency tracking

The .DEFAULT rule in backend/Makefile is harmful -- removed. Replace `::' rules by `:'.

Another round of those unportable config/build changes :-/

* Add option to build with OpenSSL out of the box. Fix thusly exposed bit rot. Although it compiles now, getting this to do something useful is left as an exercise. * Fix Kerberos options to defer checking for required libraries until all the other libraries are checked for. * Change default odbcinst.ini and krb5.srvtab path to PREFIX/etc. * Install work around for Autoconf's install-sh relative path anomaly. Get rid of old INSTL_*_OPTS variables, now that we don't need them anymore. * Use `gunzip -c' instead of g?zcat. Reportedly broke on AIX. * Look for only one of readline.h or readline/readline.h, not both. * Make check for PS_STRINGS cacheable. Don't test for the header files separately. * Disable fcntl(F_SETLK) test on Linux. * Substitute the standard GCC warnings set into CFLAGS in configure, don't add it on in Makefile.global. * Sweep through contrib tree to teach makefiles standard semantics. ... and in completely unrelated news: * Make postmaster.opts arbitrary options-aware. I still think we need to save the environment as well.
