Why? I have got a libpq.dll / libpq++.dll (and .a) running on Windows. It
comes with PgAdmin for example.

All I want is some instructions how to build it myself on Windows with the
mingw or cygwin compiler in order to do the same on the Macs.

I can compile the whole Postgres source on Windows with cygwin, and I could
figure it out slowly by looking at the source and finding out the
dependencies. I just thought why waste hours (maybe sdays?) on this if
somebody could answer it in a minute (or point me to the right documentation
to read).
