If you add a version number to the Win32 libpq name, you have to update
any command-line compile tools that mention libpq after an upgrade.  The
Unix linker knows about version numbers, but the Win32 linker doesn't,
so adding version numbers does add quite a bit of chaos to the Win32
compile world.
