How about checking the socket by using select/poll before calling
pq_getbyte_if_available()? This would prevent pgwin32_recv() from
being blocked because a message is guaranteed to have already arrived.
When the renegotiation happens, SSL_read (instead of pqwin32_recv())
is called with non-blocking socket, so it's not blocked.
