Included with MS SFU is:
Full sys V IPC
Full posix signals
posix threads (as of 3.5)
gcc 3.3
x11
Apparently most of the SFU as based on a fork of OpenBSD. Unlike Cygwin
which is emulated, SFU sys calls interact directly with the windows HAL,
so it should be robust and faster.
Maybe it would be a more worthwhile error getting postgres to compile
under this environment instead of re-implementing unix system calls.
Thoughts?
