If someone wants to dive into it, I think you could probably remove most or all of the prehistoric pre-dlopen code for *bsd and darwin as well. The hpux and win32 code could be moved to libpgport, and then we could just call dlopen() etc. directly and remove this whole subdirectory. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
