It wasn't worth the maintenance trouble. It still isn't. On any
remotely-modern machine, a build of the whole tree is only going
to take a minute or two. And libpq doesn't change so fast that
you'd need to do this often.
Having said that, it does work on non-Windows machines to do
./configure ...
cd src/interfaces/libpq
make -s install
The Windows case is exactly what we killed as not being worth
the maintenance effort, so I doubt you'll find much interest
in resurrecting that one.
