I was hoping this would be in for beta 3, but alas - can someone
*please* commit the win32 version patch at:

http://candle.pha.pa.us/mhonarc/patches/msg00000.html

With the correction at 

http://candle.pha.pa.us/mhonarc/patches/msg00001.html

Without it we cannot reliably install files like libpq.dll on Windows!!

Regards, Dave

Personally I was holding off in hopes of seeing a cleaner solution.
A patch that requires every executable-building Makefile to have a
platform-specific wart isn't going to be very maintainable.  You
already missed pg_config, plus whichever of the contrib modules build
executables...

I have added Win32 version information for pg_config.  I assume anyone
adding a new client binary will copy an existing one so I am hopeful the
win32 version strings will be maintained.
