Right, well the big question is how many people are going to use the
connection option vs. doing it for everyone automatically.

One possible approach might be to do it automatically, and allow a
connection option to disable the WSACleanup() call.

Actually, right now, if you have two libpq connections, and close one,
does WSACleanup() get called, and does it affect the existing
connection?
