Re: 7.4 include file conflict

Where are we going on the pgsql/include file conflicts? sqltypes.h is
very common on Win32, and decimal.h might be a problem too. We even
have compatlib.h.

We can tell them to adjust the include path, but what do we do about
win32 system includes that want the system sqltypes.h?
