PGAccess depends on the libpgtcl library.

The 6.4 version of libpq can be compiled for Win32.  So (in theory)
it ought to be pretty easy to build libpgtcl for Windows as well.
I don't have the tools or interest to do that, but perhaps someone
on the list can prepare Windows executables for libpq and libpgtcl,
and we could make them available for download from postgresql.org.

There is also a pure-Tcl client-side library available at the PGAccess
site, IIRC.  It's somewhat slower than libpgtcl/libpq but should run
almost anywhere.  I don't know how closely it duplicates the
functionality of libpgtcl ... close enough for PGAccess, presumably.
