Tyler,

Skimming gdal\nmake.opt and looking in gdal\ogr\ogrsf_frmts\ingres for
a makefile.vc it appears that I never built the ingres driver on windows so
I'm guessing you have added INGRES_LIB/INGRES_INC yourself and set
up vc makefiles?   If you come up with changes make sure to file a ticket
with them to incorporate.  If you need a hand building things on windows
point me to ingres windows libraries and I'll try it in a VM.

Best regards,
