Are there any build-system tweaks needed to enable use of winpthreads?
If none are needed, why are all our mingw buildfarm members building
correctly? I suggest that if you want to maintain "mingw-postgresql
built on Fedora", it would be a good idea to have a buildfarm animal
that tests it on a recurring basis.

Please do submit patches as separate attachments rather than in the
email body.
