Please note that there are pg_file_length functions in use for 8.0 on probably >95 % of win32 installations, so you're breaking backwards compatibility.



If the windows packagers have added extra functions into their build of postgres, then they can maintain them, no? Of course, this would illustrate the danger of such a practice. Postgres is surely only obligated to try not to break backwards compatibility with its own released code.
