I know. The only reason that I resent the email is that the office with
the mail server was just closed (due to downsizing). Hence, I could not
be sure that the message was actually sent. Sorry for the dup.

Cygwin (www.cygwin.com) is fantastic and has a lots of documentation.

You should give Cygwin a big try -- you may not even need FreeBSD
anymore. Just joking! :,)

If you succeed, please submit a proper patch (unlike the one that
Christof posted) to the following mailing list:

pgsql-patches(at)postgresql(dot)org

I'm sure that others would like a Mingw libpq.dll too.

Thanks,
Jason
