(I thought Jan was referring to the PGPROC struct)

This just seems a little odd to me. I mean, they are going to be basically
identical (they'll even use the same struct!).

Also, let's get back to why we want this: to handle processCancelRequest in
the Win32 case. If this array is in Windows only, then we'll obviously need
two implementations of the processCancelRequest logic.

Or I'm missing something...

Cheers,
