Pg_upgrade.sh is shell script for catalog conversion. It works for
8.3->8.4 upgrade. It will be useful while we will not have better
solution. Disadvantage is that it is korn shell script. The idea is to
rewrite it in PERL which is more portable, but I'm not PERL expert and
currently there is no workable solution.
I have had a very brief look at this. Translation to perl doesn't look
difficult. I'll see what I can do during the next week or so.
We don't require perl for any other feature, do we? Seems like a pretty
onerous requireemnt for Windows in particular. We do use perl in the
build scripts, but that's only required if you want to compile from source.
