-Section 1:      Installing Postgres95
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-1.1)    What extra items do I need to install Postgres95 under Irix?
-
-        You *must* have the following installed:
-        a) Gnu make (installed as gmake)
-
-        You are recommended to install the following:
-        a) GNU install (installed as ginstall)
-
-        You may choose to install the following:
-        a) GNU readline library (if you wish psql to have readline
-           support).
-        b) tcl/tk (if you wish to compile pgtclsh)
-
-1.2)    What changes do I need to make to src/Makefile.global or
-        src/Makefile.custom?
-
-        The easiest way to do this is to use the customize script in
-        the src directory.
-
-        You *must* set the following variables:
-                PORTNAME=       irix5
-
-        You will also need to change the following to match your own
-        installation:
-                POSTGRESDIR
-
-        If you switch on the USE_TCL option, you will need to set these:
-                TCL_INCDIR= 
-                TCL_LIBDIR= 
-                TCL_LIB = 
-                TK_INCDIR=
-                TK_LIBDIR=
-                TK_LIB =
-
-        You may also make any other changes you need as documented in
-        the INSTALL file and in Makefile.global
-
-1.3)    What are the references in X11_LIB to libsocket and libnsl in
-        src/Makefile.global?
-
-        This was a problem in 1.08 (they are Sun Solaris specific). 
-        It is fixed in 1.09 and above.
-
-1.4)    Are there any other changes I should make?
-
-        If you have installed the GNU install program (ginstall), you
-        should add the following line to src/Makefile.custom:
-                CUSTOM_INSTALL=ginstall
-
-        For an explanation as to why this is a good idea, see Question 2.1
-
-
-1.5)    Can I install PostgreSQL under Irix 6.4?
-
-        Irix 6.4 has a bug in ld which mishandles the addresses of
-        static procedures when object files are assembled into
-        larger object files using 'ld -r'. This bug has been reported
-        to Silicon Graphics. The following patch should be applied as
-        a workaround. (Supplied by Bob Bruccoleri <bruc@bms.com>)

-Section 2:      Deinstalling Postgres95
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-2.1)    Why can't I move the executable files?
-
-        By default, the IRIX port uses the BSD compatible version of
-        install from /usr/bin/X11. If you read the man page for this
-        version of install, you will see that it is not meant for
-        end-user use; it has the interesting side-effect of chowning
-        files it installs to root.
-
-        You should still be able to delete the files as you (the
-        postgres user) will own the directory in which they are
-        stored.
-
-        The normal IRIX install program cannot be used easily as it
-        takes its arguments in the reverse order. It is therefore
-        recommended to use the GNU version of install (ginstall).
-        See Question 1.4

-Section 3:      Extending Postgres95
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-3.1)    How do I compile a C program to create a function for extending
-        Postgres95
-
-        Here is a sample command line:
-
-        cc -I/usr/local/postgres95/include/ -I/usr/local/postgres95/src/backend 
-                -shared -o funcs.so funcs.c
