Yes.
Frankly this patch has significant infelicities. For example, what is
the reason for removing the standard protection against double inclusion
that header files should usually have from pg_config.h.win32?
I assume that no test was done to see if this broke Cygwin, despite the
fact that if you have a Windows box to test on, checking that you
haven't broken Cygwin should not be too difficult.. And why do win32 and
cygwin now not include at all pg_config_os.h?
I am not sure I know where to begin to look to find out how to fix
things, and I don't have the time to do it either.
