Isn't that going to break applications?  Where by "break" I mean
"have to explicitly link with 'libpq64', thereby rendering them
unportable to any other platform".

I would have thought Microsoft would have a better solution than this
for managing 64-bit libraries.  Or am I too optimistic about Redmond's
competence?
