[postgis-users] Will someone compile PostGIS 0.8.0 and PostgreSQL 7.4 for Win32 and want to share it?

Thanks for the hint. This works fine with the default Cygwin PostgreSQL:

dcmms=# select geomunion('GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(LINESTRING(1 1,0 0),POINT(0 0)', 
'POINT(0 0)');
NOTICE:  IllegalArgumentException: This method does not support 
GeometryCollection arguments

ERROR:  GEOS union() threw an error!

With the default SuSE 8.2 PostgreSQL it kills the database backend. Here the 
postgres executable has to be linked against libstdc++

This should make it easy to update the installer.
