Comes up fine for me (maybe you need to turn off Javascript?)

However, the advice on it seems to be written by someone who does not
know the difference between a variable and a function :-(. Read with
a large grain of salt.

We already have a couple of #ifdef'd usages of WSAGetLastError() in
libpq, but it's quite unclear which other references to errno might
need to be changed. A blanket replacement of errno would certainly
break things.
