have pg_ctl warn about this.
Cancel running online backups (by renaming the backup_label file,
thus rendering the backup useless) when shutting down in fast mode.

by explicitly adding back the user to the DACL of the new process.
This fixes the failure case when executing as the Administrator
user, which had no permissions left at all after we dropped the
Administrators group.

non-default settings for the postmaster's port number. The code to parse
command line options and postgresql.conf entries wasn't quite right about
whitespace or quotes, and it was coded in a not-very-readable way too.
Per bug #3969 from Itagaki Takahiro, though this is more extensive than his
proposed patch (which fixed only the whitespace problem).
This code has been broken since it was put in in 8.0, so patch all the way
back.
PQconnectionNeedsPassword function that tells the right thing for whether to
prompt for a password, and improve PQconnectionUsedPassword so that it checks
whether the password used by the connection was actually supplied as a
connection argument, instead of coming from environment or a password file.
Per bug report from Mark Cave-Ayland and subsequent discussion.
duplicative -DFRONTEND flags from many Makefiles. We still need Makefile
control of the symbol in a few places that compile frontend-or-backend
src/port/ files, but it's a lot cleaner than before.

error message, by using PQconnectionUsedPassword() instead. Someday
we might be able to localize that error message, but not until this
coding technique has disappeared everywhere.
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:
may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."
can - ability, "I can lift that log."
might - possibility, "It might rain today."
Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".
opposed to what other versions apparently do, so it's not safe to print an
error message. Besides, getopt_long itself already did, so it's redundant
anyway.
o remove many WIN32_CLIENT_ONLY defines
o add WIN32_ONLY_COMPILER define
o add 3rd argument to open() for portability
o add include/port/win32_msvc directory for
system includes
Magnus Hagander
comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib
directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names
in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).
Backpatch to 8.1.X.
