Not really. The backend will still use the reliable pg_ functions.
Frontends continue to use the libc functions, which are totally sufficient in non-concurrent access situations.
I would like to keep full Unix semantics for these functions even in libpq, if possible.
libpq doesn't use either rename or unlink AFAIK. However, if we make the patch be something involving #ifdef FRONTEND, then it will affect other code that might want to use those.
One thing that hasn't been real clear to me is why this only affects fe-lobj.c, when we have many other files that include <io.h> after including postgres.h.
Quite simple: mingw includes do *not* conflict.
Only a minority of tools is object to VC6 compilation, ultimately only libpq is needed.
