8.0 beta status

AFAIK there are no major patches still outstanding, with the exception
of the Windows-symlinks patch that arrived today from Andreas. Bruce
and I both think that's worth getting in, if no one has any objections,
but otherwise we essentially have 8.0beta1 code.

The documentation, however, desperately needs work still; and Marc would
like to get some of the postgresql.org domains shifted over to the
newly-installed venus server before we go beta. So the plan right now
is for a couple days' push on documentation, wrap beta1 on Sunday,
announce it Monday.

If anyone has time to work on docs over the next two days, please show
up on pgsql-docs and let us know what you want to work on. (And of
course it's still open season for bug-fix patches.)
