I think it's only broken when you fiddle with certificates. Unless
something broke fairly recently. Sometime back around beta2 or beta3 I
sent a patch to make it compile and work on win32. But I only touched
the server side of things. It worked in my simple tests using psql, but
I did nothing fancy with certificates.
