 Hello.

 I've tried to compile mapserver 3.6.0 in win32 for enabling to display
Japanese Characters by compiling GD library with adding "-DJISX0208." I
noticed "Makefile.vc" doesn't define PostGIS although there's
"mappostgis.obj". 

 I tried to use this build to call PostGIS with following map file.

NAME MINES
EXTENT -159.6 28.77 -71.4667 70.5
SIZE 400 300
LAYER # start of the "mines" layer object
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  NAME "mines"
  CONNECTION "user=user_name password=XXXXX dbname=mines host=theHost
port=5432"
  DATA "geo_value from themines"
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TYPE POINT
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION ([geoid] < 50) 
    COLOR 120 120 220
    OUTLINECOLOR 10 10 0
  END # end of class object
END # end of layer object
END # end of map file


 But it failed with the following message.

 msPOSTGISLayerOpen(): Query error. msPOSTGISLayerOpen called but
unimplemented!

 And there's no descripton about PostGIS in
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/win32_compile-howto.html(MapServer
Win32 Compilation and Installation HOWTO).

 But binaries distribution of MapServer 3.6.0 supports PostGIS.

 Could you tell me any suggestion about this.

 Best Regards.
