You're completely right. My apologies. I'm not used to reading that
awful (IMO) context-diff format - despite it being the official standard
for PostgreSQL, I still misread it on a regular basis.
I saw:
! if (uc($ARGV[0]) eq 'DEBUG')
...
! elsif (uc($ARGV[0]) ne "RELEASE")
and thought "WTF?".
In fact, the WTF is all me.
Please disregard.
This seems quite sensible. Please add it to the commitfest app if it
isn't there already:
http://commitfest.postgresql.org/
and I'll sign up as a reviewer so I can do some build-testing on it
after the rather pressing deadline I've got in the next couple of days
has passed.
If you don't hear from me by Friday, poke me.
