Yeas, right. Sorry for missing something like that. In HEAD, the
following things are installed regarding the shared libraries:
- In lib/, all .dll and .lib
- In bin/, only libpq.dll

So I have recoded the patch to use an hash of arrays (makes the code
more readable IMO) to be able to track more easily what to install
where, and process now does the following for shared libraries:
- In lib/, install all .dll and .lib
- In bin/, install all .dll

I hope that's fine to you.
