My point is that it isn't "working", it's broken.

I don't really want to uglify the code by replacing most of the "errno"
uses with "sockerrno". People know what errno is, they don't know what
"sockerrno" is, so we'd be reducing the readability of the code in order
to cater to Windows cultural imperialism (usual M$ philosophy: embrace,
extend, and make sure Windows-compatible code can't run anywhere else).
Since there are only about three routines in libpq that need access to
"regular" errno, it seems less invasive to #define errno for the rest
of them, and do something special in just these places.
