Hello
        I have noticed  that in postgres, one can have character strings of
char4, char8, char16; however, I want to create a character string of 
char32. From what I have read, I would need to create a dynamically
loaded object file that would define this datatype; however, how
does one exactly create a dynamically loaded object file? If I compile the
"C" file in a regular fashion (creating a regular object file) will this be
sufficient? With SunOS, the gcc function creates a dynamically loaded
object file as a default (or so I have been told).
        Question is: how would one go about creating an object file that
can be used by postgres? Is there a better way to create char32?
