I've been asked to publish HOWTOs for compiling the current versions of PyGreSQL 3.8 with Python 2.4.2 and PostgreSQL 8.1.2 under WinXP.

In the following two HOWTOs, one using MinGW and one MS VC++ toolkit.

I have not yet solved the issue with Win exceptions when printing pg query objects. I don't think it's a big problem, but it would be nice to have that fixed as well. If you have any ideas, let me know. What I found out so far is that the exceptions happen in PQprint(). If I use a self-compiled version of libpq.dll, then I do not get an exception. It happens only with the dll in the official binary release of PG for Win.

Also, let me know if there is anything to be improved in the HOWTOs.
I think it would be good to add these instructions to the PyGreSQL documentation in the upcoming 3.8 release tarball. Maybe I can also publish a win installer for 3.8 to make installation more convenient.
