Requirements to build on Windows:
  Microsoft Visual C++  (Compiled with 6.0)
  Python installed      (Tested with 2.2.1)
  The PostgreSQL Source (Tested with 7.2.1)
  The MX Toolkit Source (Tested with 2.0.3)
  The psycopg source (which you should have if you are reading this)

To build:
  Download the source to PostgreSQL and MX toolkit.
      http://www.postgresql.org/
      http://www.lemburg.com/python/mxExtensions.html
  Build the PostgreSQL libpq library.  This can be done by typing
    'nmake -f win32.mak' in the src directory.  NOTE: this will build
    several interfaces and executables for the WIN32 platform, not just
    the libpq.
  Build and install the MX Toolkit:
    'python setup.py build'
    'python setup.py install'
  Go to the psycopg directory and edit the Makefile.msvc file.
    Specifically, the following defines might need changing.  Change
    to the directory where your code is located:
      PYTHON   - The location of your distribution
      POSTGRESQL - The location of the source
      MX - The location of the source
    The following defines might also need changing, depending on what version
    of Python the code is being compiled for (Assumes 2.2):
      MX_LIB
      PYTHON_LIB
  Build the psycopg.pyd.  Type:
    nmake -f Makefile.msvc .\psycopg.pyd
  To install the newly created psycopg.pyd to your $PYTHON\DLLs directory,
    type:
      nmake -f Makefile.msvc install
  Copy the libpq.dll from the PostgreSQL directory to $PYTHON\DLLs directory
    if compiled with the dynamic library.
  Run the test, changing the values on the second line appropriately to an
    already existing database.  Note that the 'diff' command is not a standard
    WIN32 command and must be downloaded separately:
      cd tests
      python check_types.py "hosts=hostname dbname=dbname user=user" > t
      diff t check_types.expected
  If there is nothing different between the two files, then it passed the test.


Notes:
I have not tested it with Zope.  It would be interesting to know if it
   works with the Win32 version of Zope or not.

nmake commandline variables:
  LIBPQSTATIC=1     Compiles in the library instead of using the libpq.dll.
                    Currently does not work with the standard distrubition of
                    PostgreSQL when compiled with this option.


Known issues:
* Compiling with the static LIBPQ library (nmake LIBPQSTATIC=1 option),
  connections are not able to be made.  This was traced down and found to
  be an issue with with PostgreSQL library.  There are initialization
  functions in the DLL initialization function of LIBPQ that do not get
  called with the static library, which is why connections are made.
