 Priority:  medium                            |   Milestone:  postgis 1.4.1
Component:  postgis                           |     Version:  1.4.X        
 Keywords:  win32, build, dll, library, proj  |  
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
 The win32 package of postgis 1.4 is statically compiled proj4 into
 postgis-1.4.dll, while still distributing libproj.dll. It would be really
 great to have proj4 linked as a shared library because I have created a
 custom version of proj4 and would rather not go through the whole postgis
 compiling process.

 I believe the issue is because missing steps are required in
 [http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiWinCompile] to produce the
 shared library. See
 [http://www.webalice.it/marco.pasetti/qgis+grass/BuildFromSource.html#PROJ.4]
 for instructions.

 This has been checked with EDB stack builder version and the
 http://www.postgis.org/download/windows pg8.4 versions.
