Okay, I added _O_TEXT to that call; the #ifdef WIN32 part now looks like

                fflush(stderr);
                if (dup2(_open_osfhandle((long)syslogPipe[1],
                                         _O_APPEND | _O_TEXT),
                         _fileno(stderr)) < 0)
                    ereport(FATAL,
                            (errcode_for_file_access(),
                             errmsg("could not redirect stderr: %m")));
                /* Now we are done with the write end of the pipe. */
                CloseHandle(syslogPipe[1]);
                syslogPipe[1] = 0;

One question about this: isn't this coding leaking a file descriptor?
That is, shouldn't we catch the result of _open_osfhandle and do a
CloseHandle on it after the dup2 step?

BTW, is it correct to use 0 as "invalid handle"?  Or should we be using
-1 or some such?

Yeah.  What do you think is the most convenient way to do that?  I'd
be inclined to build a function that just expands \n to \r\n and then
calls write_syslogger_file, but maybe there's an easier way.
