Re: Missing path in pg_config

It sounds like I'm in quite a fix here.  If PGXS is currently a no-go in Windows, then that renders the temporal
extensionincompatible with Windows since it uses PGXS to install... 

OTOH, if there's some remote possibility of some workaround solution for Windows to get PGXS and/or the temporal
extensioninstalled, I'd be grateful if someone could help me along with it (further to your below suggestions, since
I'mfloundering around in unfamiliar territory here).

I don't know pgxs internals well enough, but would it work if we just
shipped the pgxs file - for users of mingw? I have a feeling it won't
- the thing uses files generated by the postgresql ./configure-script,
doesn't it?
