Hi, I know that last year I tried to capture coding standard for new code,
then I create a wiki at postgresql, probably is not 100% accurate but it can
be used as a start for the creation of the project standard for
codification.

url: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PgAdmin_Internals#Coding_Style

Here too, it's the location to explain the process (and problems and
solutions) of compiling pgAdmin with different versions of VC++ or other
operative systems and/or compilers.
