I disagree with this assumption.  If somebody wants to change where the
pidfile is stored, then we have to be able to deal with it.  If that means
putting some Windows specific stuff in http_main, then so be it.  There
are other ways to do this as well (I need to think them through more, and
do some more research about Windows before I post about them).  I am -1
for this patch, unless it is a stop-gap solution so we can get 2.0 working
on Windows until we fix this the right way.
