Below please find a tiny patch to PostgreSQL-7.4.1 src/port/thread.c that I found was necessary to compile libpq on Windows using Borland C++ Builder. The patch causes the the WIN32 code to be included, and <pwd.h> skipped, if under either WIN32 compiler, rather than just with MSVC. (Alternative is to just use "#if defined(WIN32)", which works for me, but I don't know if that would be safe.)
