Comment(by robe):

 one more note -- the files in postgisgui folder are completely independent
 of the ones used by postgresql except for the libpq.dll. Most of the
 postgis-gui files come straight from gtk and we packaged them in a
 separate folder so as not to conflict with the ones in the postgresql bin
 folder.
 ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win64/gtk+/2.22/

 Libraries like libxml allow you to add in a lot of additional includes so
 that the fact they are different is not surprising since  PostgreSQL folks
 probably needed different features enabled beyond the base. That is also
 why the zlibs are different
 since we packaged the one that came with gtk in the postgisgui folder. So
 in short that folder is meant to run as a self-contained unit.  You can
 move it anywhere and it will still work.
