A client wanted a Windows port. PGCluster uses sysv shm and semaphores
at the lowest level instead of using PostgreSQL wrappers...

Now the backend internals are restored to be portable. And pgreplicate is
modified to be a real multi-threaded program instead of a
fork()+pthread_create() hybrid which doesn't wok on Windows.
Protocol is now 64-bit clean, I successfully replicated between Windows XP
and 64-bit Fedora Core 6.
