this point) so we are definitely not willing to put in the effort for

windows platform<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>For now, seems the native build of VS2005/2008 on windows platform
is not supported directly for postgis2.0.<BR>Is it possible to get a
makefile.vc to work for the postgis?<BR><BR>Since postgresql has already
changed the default build mode on windows platform, I think it's very useful
to most of the developer.<BR><BR>Thanks.<BR><BR>
