Are you trying to build them to use with the EDB distribution, or your
own builds? If the former, then you'll likely need to build with VC++
which means you cannot use PGXS. If it's your own build, then as long
as you used Mingw/Msys in the first place, you should be able to use
PGXS as you would on Linux.
