Right, I had missed that point.

Okay, no problem.

Few other points:
-------------------------
1.
#ifdef WIN32
/* Get event source from postgresql.conf for eventlog output */
get_config_value("event_source", event_source, sizeof(event_source));
#endif

event logging is done for both win32 and cygwin env.
under hash define (Win32 || cygwin),
so event source name should also be retrieved for both
environments. Refer below in code:

#if defined(WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__)
static void
write_eventlog(int level, const char *line)

2.
Docs needs to be updated for default value:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/event-log-registration.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/runtime-config-logging.html#GUC-EVENT-SOURCE

In this patch, we are planing to change default value of event_source
from PostgreSQL to PostgreSQL 9.4 (PostgreSQL PG_MAJORVERSION)
as part of fixing the issue reported in this thread.

If anyone has objection to that, please let us know now to avoid re-work
at later stage.
