I just checked in the ". conftest.sh" -> ". ./conftest.sh" fix to
configure, which several people have complained of (6.4.2 fails
if "." is not in your PATH at configure time).

We have to be pretty careful with these back-rev patches, since they
typically aren't going to get much testing in the back version's
CVS tree.  So I'm leery of applying anything that hasn't been tested
for a while in the development branch.

For example, the patch I just applied to CURRENT to link libpgtcl.so
with -lcrypt perhaps ought to go into REL6_4 --- but I'm afraid to do
that until we verify that it works on a variety of platforms.  It fixes
things on teo's Linux box but I worry that it might actually break things
elsewhere.
