cygwin_dll.h Inconsistency (a.k.a Problem #2 Building Cygwin PostgreSQL)

While building PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on a stock Cygwin 1.1.4, I noticed the
following inconsistency in cygwin/cygwin_dll.h:
// declaration
int WINAPI _cygwin_dll_entry (HANDLE h, DWORD reason, void *ptr);
// definition
int WINAPI _cygwin_dll_entry (HINSTANCE h, DWORD reason, void *ptr)
{
...
}
Unless NO_STRICT is defined (which prevents STRICT from automatically
being defined), HINSTANCE will not be a typedef for HANDLE:
// from winnt.h
#ifdef STRICT
#define DECLARE_HANDLE(n) typedef struct n##__{int i;}*n
#else
#define DECLARE_HANDLE(n) typedef HANDLE n
#endif
// from windef.h
DECLARE_HANDLE(HINSTANCE);
Shouldn't the declaration and definition of _cygwin_dll_entry use either
HANDLE or HINSTANCE consistently?
Thanks,
Jason
