Hi Hackers,

I found some bugs in the latest snapshot (dated 19990606). I had some
compilation errors which I have fixed with the following patches:

ecpg.patch (wrong makefile expansion in some cases)

the ecpg Makefiles use a variable DESTDIR which is never defined
except by debian/rules makefile, in which case the ecpg makefiles
expand wrong pathnames. If we want to support a DESTDIR root it
must be done consistently in all the makefiles, not just in ecpg.

man.patch (make inconsistency)

the default target is 'install' instead of 'all'. So if you do a
make without target you actually do a make install, which is not
what one normally expects from a standard makefile.

postgres.patch (compilation error)

in postgres.c someone changed TRACE_PLAN to TRACE_PRETTY_PLAN
which is not defined anywhere. Seems unfinished work in progress.

trace.patch (compilation error)

the gettimeofday doesn't compile under Linux with glibc2 because
the DST_NONE constant is no more defined. It seems that this code
(written by me) has always be wrong but for some reason working.
