It wasn't worth the maintenance trouble. It still isn't. On any remotely-modern machine, a build of the whole tree is only going to take a minute or two. And libpq doesn't change so fast that you'd need to do this often. Having said that, it does work on non-Windows machines to do ./configure ... cd src/interfaces/libpq make -s install The Windows case is exactly what we killed as not being worth the maintenance effort, so I doubt you'll find much interest in resurrecting that one. regards, tom lane
