We need this in non-ENABLE_THREAD_SAFETY builds, and also to satisfy
the exports.txt entry; while it might be a good idea to remove the
latter, I'm hesitant to do so except in the context of an intentional
ABI break. At least we don't have a separately maintained source file
for it anymore.
We had two copies of this function in the backend and libpq, which was
already pretty bogus, but it turns out that we need it in some other
programs that don't use libpq (such as pg_test_fsync). So put it where
it probably should have been all along. The signal-mask-initialization
support in src/backend/libpq/pqsignal.c stays where it is, though, since
we only need that in the backend.
Get rid of the fundamentally indefensible assumption that "long long int"
exists and is exactly 64 bits wide on every platform Postgres runs on.
Instead let the configure script select the type to use for "pg_int64".
This is a bit of a pain in the rear since we do not want to pollute client
namespace with all the random symbols that pg_config.h defines; instead
we have to create a separate generated header file, "pg_config_ext.h".
But now that the infrastructure is there, we might have the ability to
add some other stuff that's long been wanting in this area.
that is shipped in the distribution, named libpq-dist.rc. This way the
build system doesn't get upset when a distributed file is forcibly
overwritten by during a normal build.
o remove many WIN32_CLIENT_ONLY defines
o add WIN32_ONLY_COMPILER define
o add 3rd argument to open() for portability
o add include/port/win32_msvc directory for
system includes

lacking pqsignal which is now required. This was found and fixed for
VC++ by Shachar Shemesh, I simply duplicated the fix for the Borland
makefile (untested, as I don't have that compiler).

just stick a list-link into struct PGnotify instead. Result is a smaller
faster and more robust library (mainly because we reduce the number of
malloc's and free's involved in notify processing), plus less pollution
of application link-symbol namespace.
Currently, src/interfaces/libpq/win32.mak builds a statically-linked
library "libpq.lib", a debug dll "libpq.dll", import library for the
debug dll "libpqdll.lib", a release dll "libpq.dll", import library for
the release dll "libpqdll.lib". To avoid naming clashes, I would make
the debug dll and import libraries "libpqd.dll" and "libpqddll.lib".
Basically, the debug build uses the cl flags: "/MDd /D _DEBUG", and the
release build uses the cl flags "/MD /D NDEBUG". Usually the debug
build has a "D" suffix on the file name, so for example:
libpqd.dll libpq, debug build
libpqd.lib libpq, debug build, import library
libpq.dll libpq, release build
libpq.lib libpq, release build, import library

So i took the opportunity to fix some stuff:
1. Made the thing compile (typos & needed definitions) with the new pqsecure_* s
tuff, and added fe-secure.c to the win32.mak makefile.
2. Fixed some MULTIBYTE compile errors (when building without MB support).
3. Made it do that you can build with debug info: "nmake -f win32.mak DEBUG=1".
4. Misc small compiler speedup changes.
The resulting .dll has been tested in production, and everything seems ok.
I CC:ed -hackers because i'm not sure about two things:
1. In libpq-int.h I typedef ssize_t as an int because Visual C (v6.0)
doesn't de fine ssize_t. Is that ok, or is there any standard about what
type should be use d for ssize_t?
2. To keep the .dll api consistent regarding MULTIBYTE I just return -1
in fe-connect.c:PQsetClientEncoding() instead of taking away the whole
function. I wonder if i should do any compares with the
conn->client_encoding and return 0 if not hing would have changed (if so
how do i check that?).

work on all win9x machines, so i made it go thru a l ookup table
instead, using the DLL as last resort. I also moved this out of the
fe-misc.c file because of the size of the lookup ta ble. Who knows, we
might add more other win32 specific code there in the future.
I also fixed a small typo in the pg_config.h.win32 that made the
compiler compla in about the gnu snprintf declaration.
I tried to make this patch with psql coding style. I've successfully
tested this on win2k and win98 and it works fine (i.e. the mes sage
shows on win98 too, it didn't with the old implementation).
