Please use #include "", not #include <>, for PostgreSQL's header files.

Would you mind changing the copyright to match the rest of the source?

Put everything in encode.c (not varlena.c), and put encode.c in utils/adt.

I think we've covered before that 'uint' is not a standard data type.
VARSIZE is of type int32 (signed).

To convert from text to C string, use textout().

Also, I think the term "encode" is already overloaded for multibyte use.
Maybe it needs to be qualified, such as "binary_encode".

Ok, I needed the BSD-style for separate distribution.

Should it be only line:

Copyright (c) 2001 PostgreSQL Global Development Group

?

I have not seen this discussion.  I used uint as simply handy
shortcut.  When I want unsigned var, should it be 'uint32' or
simply 'unsigned'?  Or should I avoid using unsigned vars?  Why?

You can keep your name if you want, but I don't see a point in having 73
slightly differently worded BSD-like licenses in the core.

(Might have been related to your digest module.)  AFAIK, 'uint' isn't a
standard type at all.  You can use uint32 (BSD-style, also used
by PostgreSQL) or uint32_t (C99, <inttypes.h>).

Used 'unsigned' in encoding code.

Thanks.  Patch applied.  This has the copyright removal and the unsigned
int change.
