They use the same compiler, and will produce compatible object code, so
the full or express editions will be fine.

That probably won't work well. IIRC it is necessary to put the
win32_msvc directory first in the header search path, followed by the
win32 directory.

From memory I had to create a dummy header for libintl as well - it's
not really needed for basic plugins, but is required for compilation of
the Pg headers. That dummy header should be floating around in the
mailing list archives.

There were very similar issues discussed some months ago, so I strongly
recommend that you search the archives.

On a side note, personally I think the `port/win32' subdir should be
renamed to `port/win32_mingw' and any truly shared files should be put
in `port/win32' ... but that's just me.
