Yes. So there are a couple of things here. First, the dll has
SO_MAJORVERSION in the name. And second it stops building any static
libraries and instead builds windows import libraries with names like
lippq.a.

I'm pretty much -1 on adding SO_MAJORVERSION to the library names.
It seems like it will cause churn to library users without really
accomplishing much, because when was the last time we changed the
SO_MAJORVERSION of anything?

I'd suggest that if we ever do change libpq's SO_MAJORVERSION,
that would be the time to append the suffix (so we'd go from libpq.dll
to libpq-6.dll).  For now, let's not fix what isn't broken.

On cygwin the library is cygpq-5.dll by long time;
around 2013 with 9.2.x we standardized to have the
SO_MAJORVERSION in the lib name as all the other
packages

https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/libpq5/libpq5-10.5-1

same as on Unix/Linux
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libpq5/filelist


However, the .a linking definitely is broken, and if this way
of building fixes it, that's great.  I do not have the ability
to test it, but we can throw it into the buildfarm to see what
happens.

I think we should apply this to HEAD. If it's not too late it would
probably be a good thing for release 11 - would need a release note.

I think it's too late for 11; we're too close to RC1, and besides
the problem this is fixing doesn't seem to manifest before my
recent port/common library changes.  (If that's not so, maybe it
qualifies as a bug fix for back branches; but it seems rather
high risk.)

No problem. It works for my cygwin package release
but I could have broken something around and it need to be tested.
