then release locks and loop over renaming to active file name.

 * configure + Makefile changes
 * shared memory attaching in EXEC_BACKEND case (+ minor fix for apparent
cygwin bug under cygwin/EXEC_BACKEND case only)
 * PATH env var separator differences
 * missing win32 rand functions added
 * placeholder replacements for sync etc under port.h


To those who are really interested, and there are a few of you: the attached
patch + file will allow the source base to be compiled (and, for some
definition, "run") under MingW, with the following caveats (I wanted to
first properly fix all but the last of these, but y'all won't quit asking
for a patch :-):

        * child death: SIGCHLD not yet sent, so as a minimum, you'll need to
put in some sort of delay after StartupDatabase, and handle setting
StartupPID to 0 etc (ie. the stuff the reaper() signal function is supposed
to do)

        * dirmod.c: comment out the elog calls

        * dfmgr.c: some hackage required to substitute_libpath_macro

        * slru/xact.c: comment out the errno checking after the readdir
(fixed by next version of MingW)

Again, this is only if you *really* want to see postgres compile and start,
and is a nice leg-up for working on the other Win32 TODO list items. Just
don't expect too much else from it at this point...

make sure the $Id tags are converted to $PostgreSQL as well ...

 *      use non-*_r function names if they are all thread-safe
 *          (NEED_REENTRANT_FUNCS=no)
 *      use *_r functions if they exist (configure test)
 *      do our own locking and copying of non-threadsafe functions

New to this patch is the last option.

Needed for libpq builds, not just for native Win32 port, and probably
for cygwin too.

	#include <pwd.h>
	#include <netdb.h>

in MS CC/Borland builds.

Compiles on BCC 5.5 and VC++ 6.0 (with warnings).

Also quickly added mention that it may be a qualified schema name.

in ecpg.

under Win32.  Also fix other compile issues.

        Win32 port is now called 'win32' rather than 'win'
        add -lwsock32 on Win32
        make gethostname() be only used when kerberos4 is enabled
        use /port/getopt.c
        new /port/opendir.c routines
        disable GUC unix_socket_group on Win32
        convert some keywords.c symbols to KEYWORD_P to prevent conflict
        create new FCNTL_NONBLOCK macro to turn off socket blocking
        create new /include/port.h file that has /port prototypes, move
          out of c.h
        new /include/port/win32_include dir to hold missing include files
        work around ERROR being defined in Win32 includes
