It "just worked" for me, thanks to PGXS. Put `pg_config` on the PATH and
run "make", it just builds.

Were you trying to build the sources directly, without using the PGXS
integration - say via some other build system instead of using the
makefiles?

One thing that worries me is that AFAIK PGXS doesn't work with the
Visual Studio builds on Windows. The PL/Java builds for Windows seem to
be compiled with MinGW, which is kind of ugly when Pg is built with
MSVC. I haven't looked into what's involved in building extensions
out-of-tree on Windows yet as I've always just moved them into contrib/
in the source tree and built them as part of a PostgreSQL source build.
