I've done 08.00.0004 (might take a hour or 2 to sync up), but can't do
0003 'cos I forgot to tag cvs. Sorry.

I seem to recall that I have mentioned this already, but you need to use
a much newer Libtool to build these releases.  The version 1.4.3 used
for this tarball is over two years old and provably produces incorrect
libraries on some platform.  In other words, it's broken.

Libtool 1.5.8 is the latest release.

It would also be useful to use the latest versions of Autoconf (2.59)
and Automake (1.9.4), although in those cases the consequences are not
that severe.

Sorry, must have missed that.

1.5.10 is now installed on developer.pgadmin.org.

Upgrading those resulted in 20 or so warnings about underquoting, and
repeated hints to run aclocal to update aclocal.m4. It also broke the
pgAdmin bootstrap so I've returned both to their original versions.

The whole box is due to be replaced with a shiny new dual Xeon box in
the next few weeks, so I'll update the whole OS then. Anyway, I've
updated the source tarball on svr1 - it'll get to ftp.postgresql.org in
an hour or so (you'll need to check file mod date as I didn't bother to
rename the file).

Regards, Dave.
