Steve,
In the future, please keep your replies to the list(s).
Sorry - I thought I had.

I this case fishing is easy but expensive. If you install MSVS 6.0,
then all you need to do is:
$ nmake -f win32.mak
I know, but I'm always trying to minimize my dependence upon such things.

You just did the configure for building under Cygwin. pq.dll is the
Cygwin version of libpq.dll.
I would have thought a native cygwin library would be .a, not .dll. Did I
make the Cygwin library, but make it as a DLL (thus completely useless)
because I gave -win32 as the target?

I presume that you saw the recent activity regarding the above. Why don't
you give Christof's patches a shot?
I shall, and thanks. Now I should figure out what's the difference between
mingw and -mno-cygwin, and why one uses one vs the other.
