We don't want to use that function, because it brings in a bunch of
extra dependencies. This makes libpq.dll more heavyweight and more
importantly, decreases the number of parallell connections we can deal
with on the server side (on win32 at least, not sure about win64).

Yeah, but that's at least well documented how it behaves. In fact,
there used to be a way to set that (via registry key), but they
removed it in Vista.
