I agree that it would be "prettier", but I am not willing to make enourmous
efforts myself (i. e. learn several new tools and langauges like awk, m4) for

volonteering? Where should I ask questions? On the cygwin-pgsql list I
suppose.

You could remove the Visual C++ support so there's only one non-standard
Makefile to maintain. ;-)
