Getting late into this discussion, so I may be completely off here :-)
How's that going to work+ pg_config.h.win32 needs to know win32 platform
specifics, right? So it has to be created, in that case, on win32. But
when you're building with MSVC, you don't run configure, because windows
can't run that (without the mingw layer).
