1. Which parts of MSYS and Mingw are needed for the building a Win32 version of PostgreSQL?

There are several packages listed on the Mingw website:
MingGW-3.1.0-1.exe
mingw-utils-0.2
mingw-runtime-3.2
msys-1.0.9.exe
msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
binutils
gcc
win32api-2.4
mingw32-make

2. Do I have to build OpenSSL from Mingw to compile --with-openssl? Or does Mingw already have it as a package?

3. Does the current PostgreSQL 7.4 compile with Mingw?

Thanks.

see here for some info:

I didn't try compiling with openssl.

I believe we are still waiting for signalling and process management 
code to complete the Win32 port.

Just download Msys and Mingw plain.  The others are breakouts of those. 
I realize they are confusing.

Not sure.

Client and libs, yes, server, no.
