You can use libpq on 64-bit windows to talk to an 8.1 database if you
really must.

I really wouldn't recommend running the 8.1 database on windows. Win32
releases of Pg see big improvements with every version and 8.1 is really
not recommended or supported anymore. 8.1 was ... deficient ... on Windows.

Run a recent Pg server on 64-bit windows, or run your 8.1 server on a
UNIX machine and connect to it from 64-bit windows using a modern 64-bit
libpq.

Why 8.1, anyway?
