I tried but it didn't work. However, I made some progress with changing
the section to look like this:

#ifdef WIN32
#include "win32.h"
#ifndef _WIN32_IE
#define _WIN32_IE 0x0400
#endif
#ifdef near
#undef near
#endif
#define near
#include <shlobj.h>
#else

Now the make produces this:

cd include
if not exist pg_config.h copy pg_config.h.win32 pg_config.h
cd ..
cd interfaces\libpq
nmake /f win32.mak
