Now when I'm reading this mail again, I think You misunderstood what I'm
trying to do.
I am not compiling libpq, but postgresql server.
I would like to first get a clean compile (which I already succeed with some
older version of CVS head)
, and after that play a bit with signal implementation that Bruce suggested
for postgresql win32 port.
I'm afraid that I can't directly apply Your patches to WIN32_DEV branch
because it is actually based on cvs head
from "date: 2003/08/08 17:17:17" (according to Marc's mail).
I'm not that familiar with diff/patch, so this question might sound
stupid: is there any easy way to make those patches against WIN32_DEV branch
?
Anyway those WIN32 ifdefs must go into WIN32_DEV branch.

Regards !
