That patch is NOT about $subject. In fact, if you read that whole thread
you will see here
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-06/msg00915.php that I
conducted a test on Cygwin and found it was not suffering from the
problem we fixed on WIN32.
AFAICT Reini's patch is about fixing OpenSSL and possibly some other
options on Cygwin. It was rejected because it had other problems, but is
not indicative of a fundamental problem on Cygwin. There is no reason I
am aware of that we should declare Cygwin no longer supported, no matter
how much its continued existence apparently annoys a few people :-) .
cheers
