Thanks for the patches. I wonder though if it is advisable to support Cygwin if this requires extra effort from our side, compared to a regular Linux or Windows environment. I actually like the project but I wouldn't recommend running Postgres on prod, and for development these days it's simpler to use WSL / VirtualBox / Raspberry Pi, or running Postgres natively on Windows. -- Best regards, Aleksander Alekseev
