I was looking at that this morning, and yes we need to add more
references here. Actually, adding only libpgport.lib allows the
compilation and the tests to work, but I agree to add also
libpgcommon.lib so as we don't fall into the same compilation trap
again in the future.

Now, I also see that using pgwin32_setenv() instead of
src/port/setenv.c causes cl to be confused once we update
ecpg_regression.proj because it cannot find setenv(). Bringing the
question, why is it necessary to have both setenv.c and
pgwin32_setenv() on HEAD? setenv.c should be enough once you have the
fallback implementation of putenv() available.

Attached is the patch I am finishing with, that also brings all this
stuff closer to what I did in 12 and 13 for hamerkop. The failing
test is passing for me now with MSVC and GSSAPI builds.

Thoughts?
