NFI why Pg for win32 doesn't bundle a copy of the libintl it was built
against. I should poke the EDB guys about it, actually.

Those I wouldn't expect to be included if you're building for win32.

Are you sure you're building with the win32 configuration?

This would suggest that the macros that insert appropriate
__declspec(dllimport) and __declspec(dllexport) attributes aren't being
triggered - so again, it makes me wonder if Pg knows it's building for
win32.
