I've certainly reached the stage of fed-up-ness. That platform seems seriously broken, upstream is making no progress on fixing it, and there doesn't seem to be any real-world use-case. The only positive argument for it is that Readline doesn't work in the other Windows builds --- but we've apparently not rechecked that statement in eighteen years, so maybe things are better now. If we could just continue to blithely ignore lorikeet's failures, I wouldn't mind so much; but doing any significant amount of new code development work for the platform seems like throwing away developer time. regards, tom lane
