Out of my area of expertise but this looks promising:

http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/

mm/

   This directory contains the driver and supporting dlls (but not the
   documentation) in a Windows Installer Merge Module for inclusion in
third
   party installers.

Also in the source download there is a winbuild directory, in which is
contained a readme.txt that explains how to build on Windows. There are
caveats about using VS 2010 though.
