Noah Misch c0e190365b MinGW: Include .dll extension in .def file LIBRARY commands.
Newer toolchains append the extension implicitly if missing, but
buildfarm member narwhal (gcc 3.4.2, ld 2.15.91 20040904) does not.
This affects most core libraries having an exports.txt file, namely
libpq and the ECPG support libraries.  On Windows Server 2003, Windows
API functions that load and unload DLLs internally will mistakenly
unload a libpq whose DLL header reports "LIBPQ" instead of "LIBPQ.dll".
When, subsequently, control would return to libpq, the backend crashes.
Back-patch to 9.4, like commit 846e91e022.
Before that commit, we used a different linking technique that yielded
"libpq.dll" in the DLL header.

Commit 53566fc094 worked around this by
eliminating a call to a function that loads and unloads DLLs internally.
That commit is no longer necessary for correctness, but its improving
consistency with the MSVC build remains valid.

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:

	http://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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
