Is anyone building the client stuff with BCC any more? I don't recall 
having heard of anyone doing so for quite some years.

It's a fair question.  We could clean up some of these messy ifdefs
if we dropped support for that combination.  I assume that an MSVC-built
libpq.dll would still work for Borland users, no?

The dynamic one, yes. Static linked one, no.

IIRC I suggest desupporting it every now and then and get voted down
;) And quite often we have someone showing up around the x.y.2 release
to clean it up so it works again...

Yeah, a look in the commit logs shows that happening about once a year.
It'd sure be nice if we had a less haphazard process for it though.
