Re: information Windows - PostgreSQL

Not sure if this is useful - I just found it on MSDN. It talks about porting

recommend using windows messaging instead of signals for some scenarios).. I
am not sure how easy it would be to abstract this away by providing a
signalling library that contained it all.
