Thanks for acknowledging my efforts.

What precisely do you mean by "libpq.dll"?  Do you mean the straight Win32
version of libpq, the PostgreSQL front-end C library?  If so, then you can
find a pre-built (with MSVS 6.0) but *untested* tarball at the following:

By "using Cygwin/gcc" do you mean Cygwin's gcc -mno-cygwin or Mingw
mode?  If so, then it should be possible but I don't know of anyone who
has done it yet.
