Are you referring to cygipc above? If so, they even one of the original cygipc authors would discourage this: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2001-09/msg00017.html Specifically, Ludovic Lange states the following: > I really think the solution would be to start again from scratch > another implementation, as was suggested.

However, Rob Collins has contributed a MinGW daemon to Cygwin to support switching users, System V IPC, etc. So, this code base may be a more suitable starting point to satisfy PostgreSQL's native Win32 System V IPC needs.
