BUG #2091: ecpglib.h needs to be updated....

This will be fixed when we release 8.1.1, which is planned for next
week. Before then, you can grab from CVS using the 8.1 tag.

Bug reference: 2091

PostgreSQL version: 8.1.0
Operating system: Linux
Description: ecpglib.h needs to be updated....
Details:

There are a number of places in function prototypes of ECPGdo, ECPGprepare
and ECPGdeallocate where 'char *' should be changed to 'const char *'. I am
sure the other functions have similar problems.

In trying to get my make's to work cleanly (no spurious warnings), I put
-fwriteable-string as an option. But this is a deprecated option in gcc,
which spits out a complaint. So the only way to stop the madness is to cast
the function prototypes correctly. Is this a possibility for the next
release (or is it in there already)?

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match

This was already addressed:

Do you see anything missed by that patch?
