Adding this to the c.h file solved most of the problems for the libpq DLL:

#if defined(HAVE_STRINGS_H) && !defined(_MSC_VER)
#include <strings.h>
#endif
...

#if defined(WIN32) && defined(_MSC_VER)
#include <winsock2.h>
#define snprintf _snprintf
#endif

Since I ran configure for MINGW (which has strings.h) it creates a header file which is partly invalid for MS VC++

We do not expect configure to create a setup for any use on Windows 
other than building under MinGW.

Then why does the file \postgresql-8.0.0beta2\src\interfaces\libpq say
the following:
U:\postgresql-8.0.0beta2\src\interfaces\libpq>type win32.mak
# Makefile for Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 (or compat)

If you really do build the interface under only one compiler that is a
titanic step down from before.

BTW, the missing symbol slat problem under Mingw has been isolated as
the following lines from pg_os_config.h:

/** Supplement to <sys/stat.h>.*/
#define lstat slat

You have missed the point. You should be able to build using that 
makefile *without* having run configure. After all, you can't run 
configure on Windows at all without MinGW or Cygwin. If you use it, it 
not unreasonably assumes that that will be your build environment too.

Known issue, and the patch is in cvs already. You need to change include/port/win32.h, it has a spelling mistake for stat.

There was talk of re-wrapping beta-2 with this included, but I guess it wasn't done. That leaves beta-2 unusable on win32 without manually applying that patch. Might want to put that on the download page.
