Hi!

Here is a patch to bring both libpq and psql to a state where it compiles on
win32 (native) again. A lot of things have changed, and I have not been able
to keep up with them all, so it has been broken for quite a while.
After this patch, at least it compiles. It also talks "basic talk" to the
server, but I have not yet tested all things. Sending queries, and using
e.g. \d or \dt works fine. The rest will have to be tested further.
It also bumps the version on libpq.dll to 7.0.

Everything should be enclosed in #ifdef WIN32, unless I have missed
something. Except for one or maybe two places where I have moved a #include
that should not be used on win32 from the "global area" into a "#ifndef
WIN32 area".

Bruce,

Attached is a patch which patches cleanly against the Sunday afternoon
snapshot. It modifies pg_dump to dump COMMENT ON statements for
user-definable descriptions. In addition, it also modifies comment.c so
that the operator behavior is as Peter E. would like: a comment on an
operator is applied to the underlying function.

Thanks,
