Python 3.0, though.  This change just relieves interested developers from

Create a "shmem_startup_hook" to be called at the end of shared memory

creation of any shared memory areas they need.  This is the logical conclusion
of our previous creation of RequestAddinShmemSpace() and RequestAddinLWLocks().
We don't need an explicit shmem_shutdown_hook, because the existing
on_shmem_exit and on_proc_exit mechanisms serve that need.

Also, adjust SubPostmasterMain so that libraries that got loaded into the
postmaster will be loaded into all child processes, not only regular backends.
This improves consistency with the non-EXEC_BACKEND behavior, and might be

Split the ecpg translation support into a separate catalog for the ecpg
preprocessor and the library.  This is useful for a number of reasons:

* The preprocessor and the library are in some cases installed in separate
packages and used by different classes of users.

* The library MO files need a different versioning scheme to account for the
soname.

* The makefiles are simpler, more robust, and easier to maintain this way.

* Translators might choose to focus on the ecpglib, because that is more
