Przemyslaw Sztoch (psztoch@interia.pl) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.
Short Description
postgresql and cygwin
Long Description
1. If you use "-boot" then argv[0] in BootstrapMain is equal "-boot", but should be equal e.g. "/pgsql/postmaster".
2. Under cygwin symlink support is strange. It will be very nice to don't use it. I propose add "-master" parametr to
"postgres.exe"(like -boot).
"postmaster.exe -D /data" -> "postgres.exe -master -D /data"
3.Postmaster and postgres are both in one folder. And under MS-Windows we wouldn't have "postmaster", and only
"postgres-master".
In this case we have to repair postmaster.c.
TIA for answer.
