I'm replying my own post just in case someone needs the same thing. It
seems that the required steps are:

1. performing a PGSQL 8.0 client-only installation on a source computer.

2. creating a new directory on the target computer

3. copying c:\program files\postgresql\8.0\psql.exe, ssleay32.dll,
libpq.dll, libeay32.dll, libintl-2.dll, libiconv-2.dll from the source
computer to the new directory on the target computer.

4. done. It seems to work :)

Thank you. Kind regards,
