I'm agree with windows port. But I didn't agree with linux. There is
a lot of production servers with older PgSQL. Compilation againist
another version is strenge (at least isn't documented).
Two changes (not big) isn't so big problem.
But you support psqlodbc longer then me so you have last word. I'll
accept it.

Maybe it could be interesting to have list of unsupported patches?
