Update all PostgreSQL ports to latest version.

Remove postgresql-contrib in favour for postgresqlNN-contrib.
This way we will get packages built, which is nice.

Security:       CVE-2010-1169
Security:       CVE-2010-1170

The PostgreSQL Project today released minor versions updating all active
branches of the PostgreSQL object-relational database system, including
versions 8.4.4, 8.3.11, 8.2.17, 8.1.21, 8.0.25, and 7.4.29. This release
fixes moderate-risk security issues with PL/perl and PL/tcl, as well as
a data corruption issue with standby databases.  Users of any of these
three features should update their PostgreSQL installations immediately.

The PL/perl security fix closes a security hole in PL/perl
procedures which could allow privilege escalation on the host system,
caused by a flaw in Safe.pm; see CVE-2010-1169 and CVE-2010-1447 for
details.  A second patch prevents PL/tcl's pltcl_modules table from
being subverted in order to run arbitrary Tcl scripts; see
CVE-2010-1170.  These issues only affect users who have enabled either
of these two stored procedure languages.

Also corrected is use of the command ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE, which
previously could cause data corruption on Warm Standby database slaves.
This issue affects only version 8.4.

There are also 21 other bug fixes in this release, some of which apply
only to version 8.4, and a few of which are specifically for Windows.
While these are generally fixes for minor issues, among the changes are:

     * Fix for a combinational crash condition
     * Prevent normal users from resetting some GUCs in
       their own role definitions
     * Correctly apply constraint exclusion in UPDATE and DELETE queries
     * Minor fixes for WAL archiving
     * Update timezone data for 12 zones

See the release notes for a full list of changes with details.

Welcome PostgreSQL 8.4

After many years of development, PostgreSQL has become feature-complete in many
areas.
This release shows a targeted approach to adding features (e.g., authentication,
monitoring, space reuse), and adds capabilities defined in the later SQL
standards.
The major areas of enhancement are:

Windowing Functions
Common Table Expressions and Recursive Queries
Default and variadic parameters for functions
Parallel Restore
Column Permissions
Per-database locale settings
Improved hash indexes
Improved join performance for EXISTS and NOT EXISTS queries
Easier-to-use Warm Standby
Automatic sizing of the Free Space Map
Visibility Map (greatly reduces vacuum overhead for slowly-changing tables)
Version-aware psql (backslash commands work against older servers)
Support SSL certificates for user authentication
Per-function runtime statistics
Easy editing of functions in psql
New contrib modules: pg_stat_statements, auto_explain, citext, btree_gin

Welcome to PostgreSQL 8.1.

The new release includes performance improvements and advanced SQL
features which will support bigger data warehouses, higher-volume
transaction processing, and more complex distributed enterprise
software.

Major new features in this release include:

      Roles:
           PostgreSQL now supports database roles, which simplify the
           management of large numbers of users with complex
           overlapping database rights.

      IN/OUT Parameters:
           PostgreSQL functions now support IN, OUT and INOUT
           parameters, which substantially improves support of complex
           business logic for J2EE and .NET applications.

      Two-Phase Commit (2PC):
           Long in demand for WAN applications and heterogeneous data
           centers using PostgreSQL, this feature allows
           ACID-compliant transactions across widely separated
           servers.

Some Performance Enhancements found in this release include:

      Improved Multiprocessor (SMP) Performance:
           The buffer manager for 8.1 has been enhanced to scale almost
           linearly with the number of processors, leading to significant
           performance gains on 8-way, 16-way, dual-core, and multi-core
           CPU servers.

      Bitmap Scan:
           Indexes will be dynamically converted to bitmaps in memory when
           appropriate, giving up to twenty times faster index performance
           on complex queries against very large tables.

      Table Partitioning:
           The query planner is now able to avoid scanning whole sections
           of a large table using a technique known as Constraint
           Exclusion.

       Shared Row Locking:
           PostgreSQL's "better than row-level locking" now supports even
           higher levels of concurrency through the addition of shared
           row locks for foreign keys.

In order to address a potential security hole recently identified with
the "LOAD" option, the PostgreSQL Global Development Group is
announcing the release of new versions of PostgreSQL.

Update to 7.3.9, 7.4.7 & 8.0.1.

Take the opportunity to reset PORTREVISION of slave ports.

Back out name change of startup script. The new script uses rc.subr(8),
and as such also uses rcorder(8). But, rcorder does not exist in FreeBSD
4.x. Hence rename the script it back to the top of the directory
list. [1]

The periodic script should of course be executable. [2]

New port: postgresql-contrib

        New port, containing all contrib stuff distributed with postgresql

        From the README:

        The PostgreSQL contrib tree
        ---------------------------

        This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities,
        and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL
        system, mainly because they address a limited audience or
        are too experimental to be part of the main source tree.
        This does not preclude their usefulness.
