Hi Dave,
Just some thoughts on the whole libpq.dll thing.
It would be really nice from a client distribution view of things to
have a libpq.dll that was not so dependency heavy.
For the 8.3 release the total amount of files needed to use things such
as pg_dump.exe is close to 5mb.
maybe a light version of libpq.dll is needed, just the libpq and the
open ssl dlls would be ideal, many times all that extra stuff is not
needed just to run pg_dump.
Didn't there used to be a project on pgfoundry that built the client
tools separate from the server build?
Just some thoughts,
Later,
Tony
