* various dlls (eg. cyrillic_and_mic.dll) dynamically link to externs
expected to be supplied by postgres.exe. Unless I'm waaaay off the mark
here, postmaster(.exe), acting in standalone mode, won't be able to
dynamically load these dlls.

* %e format specifier under Win32 prints 3 digits. Always. (Under *nix, I
believe it is at least 2). A bunch of tests fail solely for this reason (of
course, this is the least of our issues at this point)

* Magnus: Consider a pgwin32_signal_terminate, as exiting backends appear to
sometimes SEGV inside ConnectNamedPipe (ie. need to shutdown the signal
thread gracefully)

* SIGCHLD sending

Bruce, for this and other items on the list, can people put their hands up
to do the work and we mark it on your win32 list (so that we don't start
tripping over each others work in progress, like I/Magnus did on the signals
stuff?)

Cheers,
Claudio
