Sorry to be a pest, and all that. However, it looks like make needs to
be run in src\port, to create pg_config_paths.h, and compile stuff to
resolve externals _set_noblock, _pg_strcasecmp, _pg_tolower, and _popen
(? bit worried about that one!)

I had a go at rewriting an existing bcc32.mak, but just seemed to
generate more errors!

Cheers,

Steve
