This is exactly the sort of cruft I was hoping we would not get saddled
with by a Windows port.
If the problem is that we need PKGLIBDIR not to be frozen at compile
time, then let's fix the problem for everybody, not add a pile of
undocumented #ifdef WIN32 hacks. (And it is a problem for everybody;
see for example
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2004-03/msg00894.php
which boils down to the complaint that pkglibdir shouldn't be frozen
by configure. The RPM packagers would also be happier if they could
make relocatable RPMs of Postgres.)
Every "#ifdef WIN32" I see reduces my opinion of the quality of work
being done for this port.
