This fix won't allow CTRL+C for other cases like when server is started
directly with postgres binary.
./postgres -D <data_dir_path>
I think this doesn't come under your original complaint and as such I
don't see any problem in allowing CTRL+C for above case.

One another way could be to use CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE instead of
CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP in you previous fix, but I am not
sure if it's acceptable to users to have a new console window for server.
