Yes, that's because Magnus recently added NLS support. The pg_strcasecmp
issue almost certainly would have arisen with staic libs as well because
it was a build issue affecting libpq in general.

The problem will be moot once 8.0 stabilises anyway - it only arises now
because some missing features have been added. The reason was shifted to
DLLs was because the win32 installer has a variety of packages all using
libpq code, and combined they do make a signicant size difference.
