The pq.dll and corresponding import library libpq.a that are part of the
Cygwin PostgreSQL package are really meant to be used by code that is
built with Cygwin gcc.

Since the above seems to imply that you have MS Visual C++ 6.0, why
don't you just build a Win32 libpq as described by:

    http://postgresql.bteg.net/users-lounge/docs/7.0/admin/install-win32.htm

and use that for your project?

Alternatively, you can find a pre-built Win32 libpq at the following:

    http://members.home.net/jtishler/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.1.2-1-win32.tar.gz

Note that I have never used the above myself, but others have reported
that it functions as expected.
