1. Postgresql INSTALL-file & Windows

   Hi!
   
   In the INSTALL file, it says (under "Unsupported platforms"):
          Windows   x86        v6.3     1998-03-01    not library compatible; 
                                                      client side maybe; use 
                                                      ODBC/JDBC
   
   
          Note that Windows ports of the frontend are 
          apparently possible using third-party Posix porting 
          tools and libraries.
   
   I believe the client libraries (at least libpq) are available in native
   Win32 since version 6.4.

   Thanks for pointing this out. So how should I phrase it? As above? If
   so, where do we tell people how to build it? Or is it obvious to anyone
   who is trying? 
   
   If it could use instructions, would someone like to write it up? Or was
   something already posted on the mailing list which tells all?
   
   So many questions, so little time :) As you can tell, I haven't tried
   myself...
