  Only you can decide what is important to you.

Commits

  1. Spell the values of libpq's gssdelegation parameter as "0" and "1".

  2. Expand some more uses of "deleg" to "delegation" or "delegated".

  3. Fix remaining references to gss_accept_deleg.

  4. rename "gss_accept_deleg" to "gss_accept_delegation".
