tab-complete.o: filename_completion_function reference not found when make'ing either 7.1.2 or 7.1.3 under Windows 2000

Long Description
I've been trying to install postgres as a development database on my local machine.  So I followed the instructions.

1) I downloaded and installed the "latest" version of Cygwin today.
2) I downloaded the CygIpc .bz2 package; re-ran Cygwin setup and installed it.
3) I ran the ipc daemon from the bash command line.
4) Downloaded, unzipped, and untar'd postgres 7.1.3 (the full version).
5) cd'd into the base directory; ./configure ran fine.  make failed when it hit the following line (to link psql)...

gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations command.o common.o help.o input.o stringutils.o mainloop.o
copy.ostartup.o prompt.o variables.o large_obj.o print.o describe.o tab-complete.o -L../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq
-L
/usr/local/lib -g  -lz -lcrypt -lreadline -lcygipc -o psql
tab-complete.o(.text+0x2a36):tab-complete.c: undefined reference to `filename_completion_function'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [psql] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/install/postgresql-7.1.2/src/bin/psql'

make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/install/postgresql-7.1.2/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2

6) I went looking for the missing function with a grep command from the base directory.  Here's what I got back...

$ grep filename_completion_function `find . | grep .c$`
grep: ./contrib/mac: Invalid request code
grep: ./contrib/retep/uk/org/retep/util/misc: Invalid request code
grep: ./contrib/retep/uk/org/retep/xml/jdbc: Invalid request code

grep: ./src/bin/pgaccess/doc: Invalid request code
./src/bin/psql/tab-complete.c:extern char *filename_completion_function();
./src/bin/psql/tab-complete.c:          matches = completion_matches(text, filename_completion_function);
grep: ./src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc: Invalid request code
grep: ./src/interfaces/jdbc: Invalid request code
grep: ./src/interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/geometric: Invalid request code
grep: ./src/interfaces/odbc: Invalid request code
grep: ./src/pl/plpgsql/src: Invalid request code

Basically, it found a local extern declaration in tab-complete.c, but no actual implementation of the function.

Where does "filename_completion_function" live?

You must patch postgresql in order to run it under cygwin + windows 2000.

The "filename_completion_function" is named
"rl_filename_completion_function" under cygwin.
That's why it's not found.
The patch will solve the problem and other memory allocation problems
appearing under windows 2000.
You can find the sources patched on cygwin.com. You can download it with the
cygwin setup.exe
(sources and binaries are available).

FWIW, this is dealt with using a configure check in current sources.
I thought we'd back-patched the configuration fix into 7.1.*, but now
that I look it seems we didn't :-(.
