re fix for MSVC builds when Cygwin is in the environment, it's on my 
TODO list, and I hope to get to it shortly. It's not that critical since 
the user can always take Cygwin out of their build environment if they 
have to.

re replacements for MSVC build scripts, I am waiting for Magnus to comment

re encoding fixes, I am waiting for feedback re chr()/ascii() fixes, 
and  will start work shortly on convert() changes.

Just a note: I don't find the mail archive approach to these lists 
optimal. A list on a wiki page with links from individual discussions, 
rather like the one Stefan did earlier at 
http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/Todo:PatchStatus , makes 
things a lot clearer, IMNSHO.  In particular, it's nice to be able to 
see at a glance who is on the hook for what.

cheers
