Yes, I can follow that argument.

And the patch got twice smaller in size. Thanks.

Hm.. I have just tested HEAD, my patch and your patch using my patch
test on pg_ctl.c, but I am always getting pgwin32_is_service set to 0
when running pg_ctl start from a terminal, and set it to 1 when
running pg_ctl service to register the service startup. Could you
precise in which ways you started the Postgres instance and could you
post the patch of pg_ctl you used? I am afraid that I am taking it
incorrectly because I am not able to see any differences.
Also, did you test the patch I posted and were you able to see the
same differences as with your patch? I still think that my short patch
is logically correct but if the tests are not we are in a no-go
position for any fix posted on this thread.
