Comment(by robe):

 We are not having much success with this.  So we will give up for now and
 hopefully will have better luck with MSys64.  I was also thinking we
 really need to support Msys64 anyway.  It seems unfair to require someone
 to go out and by VS professional just so they can compile PostGIS under
 windows for 64-bit.  It doesn't seem the Express supports 64-bit.  Granted
 we should at some point support VS/VC++, but I don't think (Leo and I) are
 capable of it giving our limited experience with C and C++.

 Mat -- tried to follow your directions -- but not much luck.
 We started notes on it -- not finished --
 http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/DevWikiWinVC_15

 Even on 32-bit not having much success compiling PostGIS 1.5.3SVN. We get
 errors such as below

 And it goes on and on. Also not sure where we would put the libxml
 dependency that became a requirement in 1.5.
