Comment (by robe):

 Okay I verified we are doing it the same way we built pg 83 and 84.  We
 did make some progress by getting it to build the postgis-1.5.dll. Sadly
 the built .dll doesn't work so troubleshooting why that is to make sure
 its not just some missing file. The depends doesn't show anything else
 that we don't have in the bin or lib folder.

 In order to get it to build the .dll, I had to change ${PERL} in the
 postgis/makefile script to perl.  So something in the 9.0 pgxs.mk I
 presume is screwing up the perl path.

 Our mingW build of PostgreSQL 9.0b1 on closer inspection also doesn't seem
 to have built the .dlls.  It built the .exe.  So will try to rebuild that
 and monitor more closely what is doing.

 If someone could try this out too, that would be great.

 Mark -- for reference we were specifying the paths as we always do

 /c/projects/....

 But the {PGXS}  is being set to c:/projects/.... so not sure why its
 switching it back to c:.  I forgot to check if the 8.4 does the same
 thing.
