I think pgsql on Cygwin 1.1.x has much problem. For example,

* prepare pgbench in contrib/pgbench.
* run pgbench with 30 client access(-c 30)
* pgbench halt(due to pgbench's probrem?) ,so kill it.
* postmaster hung up in ServerLoop().No more connection was established.

I think we should not drop the support of B20 ,if pgsql on Cygwin 1.1
has less stablity than B20.
