That's only in the backend though: note the #define is controlled by
#ifndef FRONTEND, and we don't link backend/port/win32/socket.c into
libpq anyway. The signal managing it's doing wouldn't work at all in
client-side programs.
But yeah, on the backend side we would definitely treat WSAEINPROGRESS
as a hard error. OTOH, we don't use nonblocking connect (much?) in the
backend so I'm not sure whether that's a directly comparable case or
not.
