OK, having no M$ diff, I attach files src\interfaces\libpq\bcc32.mak and
src\interfaces\libpq\win32.h

bcc32.mak incorporates the changes in win32.mak, and adds a couple of
extra source files from the ..\..\port directory, and win32.h was used
to #define popen -> _popen.

All seems to work after a *very* cursory test!

Can I get back to the land of proper slashes now???
