I've applied version 0.58 of the patch with a lot of further

Great ! Just checked and most things after trivial changes are working !
We need to summarize changes and provide upgraide guide.
The main thing that is lacking at the moment is documentation. The
stuff Bruce has been working on will be good introductory material,
but we've got basically zip in reference material. I'll do some work
on that over the next couple of days, but there's probably room for
more hands.
We have SQL reference and I'm sure Bruce should have it too. Bruce,
let me know when you do last changes, so I could read docs again
Also, we need to decide what to do with contrib/tsearch2, which is
currently DOA because of conflicts with the new core code. We could
either rip it out entirely, or try to convert it into a compatibility
package. In view of the renamings of functions we agreed to do, I
think there is some scope for a compatibility package, but I have no
time to work on that.
Probably, we could leave tsearch2 in contrib as a compat module and
explicitly define 8.4 will be the last release with tsearch2 support.
This is, by a wide margin, the largest single patch ever to hit the
Postgres CVS tree. Congratulations to Oleg and Teodor on seeing
it through!
It was really hard task for all of us. It's pity I don't drink at all, but
Teodor will drink the health of "text search in PostgreSQL" today !
Tom, as I know, already drain out bottle of vodka, so Bruce, you need to
join us !
Regards,
Oleg
