pgsql vc++|win32

Hi guys, I'm planning with some friends to develop a
port of pgsql, to native win32 environment using vc++;

We read about MingW choice of official dev team, and we comprise
their worries but we think that best results could be obtained
using some really native win32 libraries (for better or for worse =/)

where can I access latest dev source code and dev docs in the/from CVS ?

Thanks

Regards
Luke

What makes You think that You can't use "really native win32 libraries" with 
MinGW ? MinGW is not cygwin.
However source is under WIN32_DEV branch of CVS. IMHO it would be much better 
to join the official team, but nobody is asking me.

Regards !

Mingw uses the native Win32 libraries.

Porting from a Mingw port to VC++ will be trivial compared to what we
have now.

Maybe you want the Win32 page.  There are some links to it in recent
messages here.

Just a reminder to everyone looking at porting that you wanna check the 
licensing from the software from MS you might be linking in.
