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.
