In reading the patch, it seems he is only doing "zero equals
unknown" on Win32, so I think we are fine.
     

That's what I was trying to avoid: where possible, we shouldn't
introduce platform-dependent #ifdefs IMHO.
   

But the platform doesn't give us what we want so I don't see why we
should weaken other platforms just for consistency.
 

Surely the operative words are "where possible". Looks like this is one 
case where it is not reasonably possible. I don't think we will ever be 
totally rid of them. I tried quite hard to keep them to a minimum in 
initdb, but eliminating them was not really an option.
