Adding this to the c.h file solved most of the problems for the libpq
DLL:
 
#if defined(HAVE_STRINGS_H) && !defined(_MSC_VER)
#include <strings.h>
#endif
...
#if defined(WIN32) && defined(_MSC_VER)
#include <winsock2.h>
#define snprintf _snprintf
#endif

Since I ran configure for MINGW (which has strings.h) it creates a
header file which is partly invalid for MS VC++

Adding 
this to the c.h file solved most of the problems for the libpq 
DLL:
 
#if 
defined(HAVE_STRINGS_H) && !defined(_MSC_VER)#include 
<strings.h>#endif...
#if defined(WIN32) && 
defined(_MSC_VER)#include <winsock2.h>#define snprintf 
_snprintf#endif
Since 
I ran configure for MINGW (which has strings.h) it creates a header file which 
is partly invalid for MS VC++

We do not expect configure to create a setup for any use on Windows 
other than building under MinGW.
