I agree.
At least it should get some more testing besides mine.

I've set up virtual machines with VS 2003, VS 2005 Express, VS 2008 
Express (+ my PC with VS 2010) for testing purposes but I didn't test 
all possible build paths with respect to the external libraries to include.
While I didn't change much of the existing VS 2005/8 code I currently 
can't guarantee that the VS 2010 build will work for every possible 
external library one could include (yet I didn't stumble into any 
failure while testing) and still I could have broken some VS 2005/8 
build path too.
The patch could also be extended to automatically support building libpq 
when VS 2003 is detected or support other desireable features that 
aren't really in the context of supporting VS 2010.

Being somewhat short of time in the next weeks I'm at least willing to 
rebase the patch on request and do some more testing or fix issues 
someone else has detected before the next release (9.2?) goes beta.

If there's some pressure to support VS 2010 asap - please let me know 
and I'll see what I can do.

Best regards,

Brar
