These corrections against 8.0.0beta3 are for removal of the Tcl interface
from core. I found two left-over references in the top-level README to be
fixed, several in the top-level INSTALL and Installation chapter of the
manual (both generated from docs/src/sgml/installation.sgml, I think) and
one in the help text in configure.in.

In addition, please delete doc/man1/pgtclsh.1 and doc/man1/pgtksh.1 from
the distribution, since these commands are no longer included.

Here are my suggested changes. Since the target files are highly
visible, I assume you will check this over very carefully and rewrite as
appropriate...

Patch applied to HEAD, with some editorializing. autoconf (2.53) re-run.

For future reference, patches should be made with a consistent directory
prefix (i.e. if you're going to make some hunks of the patch relevant to
the top-level of the PG source tree, please do so for all hunks).

Thanks for the patch!

I couldn't see these files in the beta3 distribution.

Sorry. Yes I should know better.


Sorry again; that should be man/man1 not doc/man1, and that's where they
get installed (which isn't what you want).
They arrive in the distribution inside the man.tar.gz file:
$ tar -tvzf doc/man.tar.gz | grep pgt
-rw-r--r-- petere/wheel 852 2003-11-02 06:39:09 man1/pgtclsh.1
-rw-r--r-- petere/wheel 963 2003-11-02 06:39:08 man1/pgtksh.1

And they get built from this source file:
doc/src/sgml/ref/pgtclsh.sgml
I don't think it is explicitly referenced from any Makefile or other sgml
file.
