Ok, it was an error on my side :) I found the libpq-fs.h file and
assumed that should be the folder in the PG_INC_DIR, but it isn't. It
is the parent folder.
Using the following two lines, the compilation works:
PG_INC_DIR = "c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\include"
PG_LIB = "c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\lib\ms\libpq.lib" wsock32.lib
Thanks for the help Mateusz (and Frank through IRC).
