See the following for the full details:

The Cygwin PostgreSQL and KDE communities seem to be happy with the
above. Would you be willing to accept such a patch into cygipc CVS?
If so, then please let me know because I just found some more places

like to gauge your interest before pursuing this further.
Thanks,
Jason
