Thanks.  I bet this is the reason buildfarm members hamerkop, jacana and
bowerbird have not been reporting in.

This needs to be conditional on whether the platform supports IPv6, like we do
in setup_config().  The attached patch works on these configurations:

64-bit Windows Server 2003, 32-bit VS2010
64-bit Windows Server 2003, MinGW (always 32-bit)
64-bit Windows Server 2008, 64-bit VS2012
64-bit Windows Server 2008, 64-bit MinGW-w64

If the patch looks reasonable, I will commit it.

  1. Have config_sspi_auth() permit IPv6 localhost connections.

  2. Lock down regression testing temporary clusters on Windows.

  3. Use a separate temporary directory for the Unix-domain socket

  4. Secure Unix-domain sockets of "make check" temporary clusters.
