As for DLLs, yes, that sounds reasonable. We also need to put it on the
EXEs. That would mean which DLLS?
libpq.dll and pgevent.dll definitly. Any of the ecpg dlls?
If we limit ourselves to these libs, are you fine with keeping the 7.5.x
version numbering there? (As said before, for libpq we don't have much
choice, and pgevent.dll has no other versioning scheme anyway, since
it's brand new and win32 only)
As said, not ideal, but good enough I think. I think the rule generally
is any EXE and DLL. But as long as it's a private DLL that nobody else
ever uses, I think it's reasonable to skip the rule there.
