Looking finally at this patch. In short, it moves to bin/
libpgtypes.dll, libecpg.dll and libecpg_compat.dll for cygwin and
MinGW build using some additional processing in Makefile.shlib,
removing at the same time the win32 stuff in libpq/Makefile.
IMO, it would be more readable to replace this part with a separate if
block for readability. So changing that:
- '$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$(shlib)' \
+ '$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$(shlib)' $(if $(findstring
$(PORTNAME),win32 cygwin),'$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/$(shlib)') \
For that:
ifneq(blah)
blah2
endif
The MSVC portion of this fix got completely lost in the void:

Peter, could it be possible to merge this patch with its MSVC portion
for simplicity? I think that it would more readable to do all the
changes at the same time once and for all. Also, that's still a bug,
so are we still considering a backpatch? I wouldn't mind putting some
time into a patch to get that fixed..
