Here is a sample patch for automatically adding the year/julian date to
the libpq.rc file. It requires moving libpq.rc to libpq.rc.in and then
making the Makefile modifications attached. I also included how
libpq.rc changes so you can see the numbers added.

I have used the existing *.def build method but for a final version I
think I have to make it its own rule so it is recreated on every MinGW
build rather than just when exports.txt changes or a package prepdist
build is made. VC and BCC aleady require a prepdist build so we should
be OK with having this built at that time always. I can see pginstaller
building from CVS and would like to make sure it has an updated day
stamp so I am thinking it should be recreated every time libpqrc.o is
created.
