Thanks!  Good to know it works.  I run into problems with mappostgis.c,
crapping out and giving the "BIG_ENDIAN/LITTLE_ENDIAN" error message.  I
got around it by copying the Cygwin param.h header into MSVC's include/sys
directory and editing mappostgis.c.  There might be another way to go
around this but it needs to be fixed permanently.

I compiled with static library support, except for zlib and libpq (hence
the need for the dlls).  I tried linking GDAL/OGR and PROJ.4 libs
dynamically but I get lots of error messages.

There are already compilation how-to's for Unix (and Linux) and Windows
but I'll add the bit about compiling PostGIS support on Windows.  Yup,
I'll add that to my ever expanding to-do list. :)
