* Allow cross-compiling by generating the zic database on the target system

* Improve NLS maintenace of libpgport messages linked onto applications

* Allow ecpg to work with MSVC and BCC

* Allow building with directories containing spaces

There are two capabilities here, first the ability to build from a

source directory that contains spaces, and second the ability to install

into a directory that contains spaces. The first is probably not

possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools do not fully support

spaces in path names. The second is possible with proper quoting in

the makefiles. Because PostgreSQL supports relocatable installs, it

is possible to install into a directory that doesn't contain spaces and

then copy the install to a directory with spaces.

* Allow building in directories containing spaces

This is probably not possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools

do not fully support quoting of paths with spaces.

* Allow installing to directories containing spaces

This is possible if proper quoting is added to the makefiles for the

install targets. Because PostgreSQL supports relocatable installs, it

is already possible to install into a directory that doesn't contain

spaces and then copy the install to a directory with spaces.

* Win32

o Remove configure.in check for link failure when cause is found
