Corinna, Cgf,
your opinion please, I guess this behavior changed long time ago

pg_ctl is broken because it hangs waiting for a child process to finish.
This can be seen with the following test program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
main()
{
system("sleep 5 && echo waking&");
printf("done\n");
exit(0);
}
On my Cygwin 1.7.7/ gcc 4.3.4 system this program returns immediately as
expected and does not wait for the child to exit. However, on Cygwin
1.7.17 / gcc 4.5.3 it does not return until the child exits, even though
the system() call returns immediately.
That's a major piece of breakage (and nothing to to with Postgres, of
course).
cheers

Andrew,
attached clean version of previous patch.
I reversed the postgres.exe changes, for the time being, to allow
a complete compilation.
- Every dll is built with "gcc -shared",
- DLLWRAP is not used anymore
- DLLTOLL is only used for postgres.exe
I will upload a test package to allow user tests
Regards
Marco
