Now looking at the Makefile.global in the 8.1.2 pginstaller install, in
Makefile.global, $libdir is set in a pgxs-specific block:

libdir := $(shell pg_config --libdir)

and that seems to work:

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\bin>pg_config --libdir
C:/PROGRA~1/POSTGR~1/8.1/lib

and that is set to LDFLAGS, which is later propogated to SHLIB_LINK,
though SHLIB_LINK moves all the -L flags to the front, so what you see
on the link line is not the ordering used to create the value.

Andrew, can you try echoing $libdir and $SHLIB_LINK in the Makefile to
find those values?
