Обсуждение: remove some ancient port hacks
There are two ancient hacks in the cygwin and solaris ports that appear to have been solved more than 10 years ago, so I think we can remove them. See attached patches. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
