Re: TODO-Item: include for guc

Hi,

the attached patch implements the TODO-item

o %Add "include file" functionality in postgresql.conf

However I was not able to test it on Windows :-(

I talked to Peter Eisentraut about how to handle relative file names and his
opinion was that a relative file name should be interpreted to be relative
to the path of the including file, i.e. to the path of the file that
contained the actual "include = other.conf" line. The patch follows this
idea.

The attached patch is a revised version of the patch I sent in before:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2005-12/msg00018.php

The old version did not apply to current CVS anymore and the new one
now also works with flex 2.5.4.

The patch works as proposed by Tom Lane in:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2004-06/msg00030.php
(see lower part)

Joachim

Previous patch version removed from queue.
