1. new patches for 6.5.0

   Hi,
   
   here are some patches for 6.5.0 which I already submitted but have never
   been applied. The patches are in the .tar.gz attachment at the end:
   
   varchar-array.patch     this patch adds support for arrays of bpchar() and
                           varchar(), which where always missing from postgres.
   
   			These datatypes can be used to replace the _char4,
   			_char8, etc., which were dropped some time ago.
   
   block-size.patch        this patch fixes many errors in the parser and other
                           program which happen with very large query statements
                           (> 8K) when using a page size larger than 8192.
   
   			This patch is needed if you want to submit queries
   			larger than 8K. Postgres supports tuples up to 32K
   			but you can't insert them because you can't submit
   			queries larger than 8K. My patch fixes this problem.
   
                           The patch also replaces all the occurrences of `8192'
                           and `1<<13' in the sources with the proper constants
                           defined in include files. You should now never find
   			8192 hardwired in C code, just to make code clearer.

   Applied.  This was still in my mailbox, waiting.  Sorry.
