Is it normally necessary to manually export the paths:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin
/usr/local/pgsql/lib

After installation of PostgreSQL under MINGW?

Usually, after:
make install

I can run an application, but PostgreSQL's installation does not seem to
have exported the paths for me.

We have gone to a lot of trouble to make sure that the app is in fact 
relocatable - we don't expect you to run it under MinGW, or even to have 
MinGW installed on a machine where you run it (and /usr/local/pgsql/bin 
only makes sense within MSys anyway). Just put the whole shebang where 
you would normally expect it to be on Windows (e.g. C:\Program 
Files\Postgres\8.0 beta2\) and then add the bin and lib dirs under that 
to your path. Of course, the installer does lots of work for you.
