I agree with getting rid of the remaining .bat files, or at least making them one line wrappers for perl scripts, but I think it's too late in the cycle for that now. As I explained, the reason I didn't make more changes before was because I thought it was too late then. I did just enough to make running the whole thing with the buildfarm client work reliably. I think we could reasonably get away with this for one cycle and clean it up more thoroughly in 8.4. There are exactly four places that use buildenv.bat: install.bat, builddoc.bat, pgbison,bat and pgflex.bat. Of these, the only one that really matters, I suspect, is builddoc.bat, but if we fix it we should do so consistently. cheers andrew
