Hmm that's strange - the names are automatically generated by PGXS and 
as long as everything is called the same thing, it should just work. How 
does it compare with modules from contrib which also use PGXS? Do these 
have a lib* prefix on Win32 aswell? (Apologies but I don't have access 
to my Win32 VM at the moment)


ATB,
