Unfortunately, your proposed change would affect PostgreSQL's global
Makefile.shlib makefile which in turn would "affect" the building of
shared libraries on all of the umpteen supported platforms. Sorry, but I
don't really want to go there since I assume it will be an uphill battle.
Besides, don't you want pq.dll renamed cygpq.dll, etc. too?
