While changing Cygwin Python to build its core as a DLL (like Win32
Python) to support shared extension modules, I have learned that Guido
prefers the style of the attached patch to solve the above problem.
I feel that this solution is particularly appropriate in this case
because the following:

    PglargeType
    PgType
    PgQueryType

are already being handled in the way that I am proposing for PgSourceType.

I will submit this patch to pgsql-patches for consideration.

I was hoping that this one could be sneaked into 7.1.2.  Unfortunately,
the following seems to indicate that I just missed the cut off:

    http://fts.postgresql.org/db/mw/msg.html?mid=118227

If I didn't miss the cut off, can it be considered for 7.1.2?

Thanks,
Jason

To be in 7.1.X, it would have to be a big bug and the patch of low risk.

I guess that I met the second criterion but not the first.  Nevertheless,
the policy is very reasonable and acceptable.  I've managed to avoid
maintaining a patch list up until now -- oh, well...

BTW, I'm very impressed by the the PostgreSQL development process
and IMHO it is a role model for the open source community.

Thanks,
Jason

We added to bugs in 7.1.1 that were not in 7.1, so we are being pretty
careful for 7.1.2.
