Re: cygipc (and PostgreSQL) XP problem resolved!


key_t, as it's used for ipc, is likely to be *problematic* to transition
in a 'fat binary' style.

You'd need a 32 bit set of key creation routines, and and translation
table to lookup 32bit keys in the list of 64 bit keys ....

Given that cygipc is *not* in cygwin today, and you'd be adding it, I'd
simply have it 64 bit from the first release uploaded to sources.

And I'd time that for oh, a day after cygwin 1.5 goes up as a testing
package. (And release cygipc as testing whilst cygwin 1.5 stays in
testing).
