It is a good idea if we're looking for a workaround of a pgsql bug (IMHO).
Let's first inspect this though... can you report (for the third time ;)
*which* file is attempting to include "pwd.h" ? *which* one is including
the file including it ? and which one is including the one that includes
the one that includes pwd.h ? ... and so forth until you end up
finding one of postgis files (either .h or .c).

Beside this, what about that '[]' thing ?

I'm sorry this discussion takes so long but I'm a blind mantainer as
it comes to w32 support.
