  1. Fix filling of postmaster.pid in bootstrap/standalone mode.

  2. Add explicit casts in ilist.h's inline functions.

Glad to see this patch hasn't been totally forgotten. Being able to use 
indexes for regular expressions would be really cool!

Back in January, I asked for some high-level description of how the 
algorithm works 
(http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/4F187D5C.30701@enterprisedb.com). 
That's still sorely needed. Googling around, I found the slides for your 
presentation on this from PGConf.EU - it would be great to have the 
information from that presentation included in the patch.
