Also, what about autotools? Are you using those from cygwin in combination
with the Mingw compiler?

In order to compile and use libgda I need:
- glib, libiconv, libintl from your packages

- intltool, docbookx412, scrollkeeper which I was able to compile from
source in cygwin but I don't know about mingw. What do you think?

- to be able to compile and link libgda with pq.dll (on cygwin) to create
libgda-postgres.dll. Can I do this, ie, compile with mingw and link with
pq.dll?

- to be able to use g_module_open from some gda-test program (compiled with
mingw) to access libgda-postgres.dll services (which access the
postgresql/cygwin daemon through TCP/IP).

What do you say?
