RdbiPgSQL

I have offered to help with the Google Summer of Code projects for building a
DBI / PostgreSQL interface.  Given the template of Rdbi/RdbiPgSQL we know
that this will easily work on Linux et al, but has anybody tried this under
Windows?   

According to the PostgreSQL website, building on Windows using MinGW should
'just work'.  Can anybody here with a R-bent give any additional colour: did
it or didn't it work ?  

It's been a while, but I have built both Postgres and PL/R successfully 
under MinGW on WinXP. I don't have much spare time these days (can 
barley keep PL/R updated), but if you run into problems I'll try to help.

Joe,

Thanks for the feedback!

It so happens that I just heard from one of the SoC students, and he now
succeeded to after installing MSys and rebuilding Pg.  RdbiPgSQL then built
fine against the locally-built libpq.

Thanks for the offer for help.  We may take you up on it!

Cheers, Dirk
