Noah Misch 7e0c574ee2 MSVC 2012+: Permit linking to 32-bit, MinGW-built libraries.
Notably, this permits linking to the 32-bit Perl binaries advertised on
perl.org, namely Strawberry Perl and ActivePerl.  This has a side effect
of permitting linking to binaries built with obsolete MSVC versions.

By default, MSVC 2012 and later require a "safe exception handler table"
in each binary.  MinGW-built, 32-bit DLLs lack the relevant exception
handler metadata, so linking to them failed with error LNK2026.  Restore
the semantics of MSVC 2010, which omits the table from a given binary if
some linker input lacks metadata.  This has no effect on 64-bit builds
or on MSVC 2010 and earlier.  Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported
versions).

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
