RPM's for Red Hat Linux 9 uploaded. There are changes. Primarily, the
changes involve syncing up to the current RawHide state. This does mean,
however, a minor difference in the default pg_hba.conf file. By default,
this file now use ident authentication. Also, the Red Hat branch had a
removal tool for the dependencies on the Pg module in the contrib stuff.
That has been added.

To remove the default ident authentication, edit the spec file to not apply
the 'tighten' patch.

There is also a set of patches for 'multilib' support, which is useful when
building/using on a mixed 32/64 bit machine (x86_64 in particular), where
there may be 64 bit and 32 bit libs concurently used.

The spurious blank symlink to libpq.so.2 is gone.

Builds for other versions of Red Hat will be available soon. A note: the
build process requires AutoConf 2.53 or greater. An autoconf253 package is
available for older Red Hat, IIRC. A build for Aurora SPARC Linux is also
provided. While the build was made on an Aurora-0.42 box, it should install
fine on an Aurora-1.0 box.

Changes have been made to the spec file to make building on non-red-hat
distributions maybe a little less painful. Full Changelog follows.
