That was the same reaction Tom had. Again, many might be junk, but is
it 100% junk. What about:

8.4 - psql output for \l
Overriding Kerberos parameters
HAVE_FSEEKO for WIN32
stat() vs cygwin
Memory mess introduced by recent funcapi.c patch
The suppress_redundant_updates_trigger() works incorrectly
So what's an "empty" array anyway?

I just picked those at random. And again, though they are not required
for the release, they appeared during 8.4 development and should be
fixed now, if possible.
