I began to suspect my version of WinZip was lousing up the pg source
files when it dropped files from a zlib.tar I was trying to install.
So, I installed 7-zip and unpacked the pg source with that..
- I ran ./configure --without-zlib
Then: make world
Success!
(then: make install-world)
So, now it's a hot mess of something - looks a far cry from the binary
version I originally downloaded, but supposedly it's installed
Pgxs looks to be in there too deep in a test path...
I think I'll need to sleep on it before I can make heads or tails of the
installed tree -- but tremendous thanks for all the help! I'd be lost
otherwise.
Cheers,
John

I doubt it. I use 7-zip on Windows without problems. You certainly don't
need to use gzip and GNU tar.
I'm pretty puzzled about why c.h isn't seeing the macro definitions set
by configure - but not puzzled enough to want to suffer though
msys/mingw/autohell on Windows when the VC build "just works".
