Why not use make?

Instead of the above you would get the following:
$ make -n refint.dll
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -DREFINT_VERBOSE -I. -I../../src/include -c -o
refint.orefint.c
dlltool --export-all --output-def refint.def refint.o
dllwrap -o refint.dll --def refint.def refint.o ../../src/utils/dllinit.o -L../../src/backend -lpostgres
rm -f refint.def
rm refint.o

No, this is Windows and not Unix. Cygwin does a lot, but it can only do
so much...
