I think its already been determined that the cygwin option is too low performing.
However, the apache stuff could be quite useful - but if that effort were to be undertaken, it would make more sense to move all versions of the code the the apache runtime, for all platforms. Are there any other runtime libraries out there that are cross platform, open/free and high performance? I know the mozilla XPCOM libraries work quite nicely, but are geared more towards multithreaded apps - and the COM-alike infrastructure is something we wouldn't need. ~Jon ----- Original Message ----- From: Bruce Momjian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: mlw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Tom Lane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Marc G.
