Probably you have built a library dynamically linked to the libpq,
whereas the Jason packages have the libpq statically linked. The
setting can be configured using the static_libpq setting in the
setup.cfg.

This of course doesn't solve all the issues of the Windows build. I
know Jason is polishing the build system he uses for his packages,
which is not a trivial one as he also builds the libpq and the ssl
libs together with psycopg. I hope good news should come from him,
also about the issue #20 :)

What Python version are you using anyway? I remember building with up
to Python 2.5 was an easy task using this bundle [1], but with Python
2.6 I found problems, maybe related to the issue #3308 [2]
