As stated in my original e-mail you do provide a Windows lib file for libpq.
All I am asking is that you provide a lib for libecpg. I created my own
Windows lib file for libecpg and it works. I can compile and link with
MSVC.
Thanks,

AFAIK, we don't support ecpg with MSVC, only with MingW. Meaning it
hasn't been verified to work. But it should be Ok to generate LIB files
from the DLL and use those - just not tested. I don't see why it
shouldn't work...
If it does work we should consider adding MSVC import libraries in the
MSI build. Dave - we do this for some other package already, don't we?
