Update PostgreSQL to latest versions. For details on the fixes,
please see the HISTORY file included in the Release, but a summary
consists of:
* Change encoding function signature to prevent misuse
* Change "contrib/tsearch2" to avoid unsafe use of INTERNAL function
results
* Repair race condition between relation extension and VACUUM
This could theoretically have caused loss of a page's worth of
freshly-inserted data, although the scenario seems of very low
probability. There are no known cases of it having caused more than
an Assert failure.

Fix security alert using a patch from PostgreSQL's CVS repository:
Prevent overrunning a heap-allocated buffer if more than 1024
parameters to a refcursor declaration are specified. This is a
minimally-invasive fix for the buffer overrun.
Define LATEST_LINK to avoid package name clashes between the different
branches of PostgreSQL. [1] (Since postgresql-tcltk is hardwired to
branch 7.4, keep its LATEST_LINK to a generic value.)
Set UNIQUENAME and let it be the same for server & client, so each
branch's ports will share the same options file. This adds some no-op
knobs to the -client port, but IMO it is better this way.
Add space inside paranthesis in OSVERSION conditional to work around
