On reflection I think we probably better fix it back to 8.2, since we're
supposedly supporting Windows on all those branches, and somebody might
try to build any of them on modern mingw.

We can't change the meaning of HAVE_INT_OPTRESET because that would
break the declaration logic in getopt.c. I'm thinking we have to
complicate the #if logic in postmaster.c and postgres.c. Will look
into it as soon as I get done with the contrib/seg patch (ie in an
hour or so).
