That's definitly wrong.
Looks like this file needs a _srv version in the Makefile. Bruce?
Just a thought - might this affect more things that rely on FRONTEND
defines in the headers? How bad would it be to just make libpgport build
two complete sets of object files, one for server and one for frontend,
instead of special-casing which files are rebuilt?

I can try - though I only have development servers on win32 these days,
and have never been bitten by this actual problem. So we'd still much
appreciate yuor help in testing a solution once it's there..
