building pgsql-odbc from source without VC++

Does anyone have any experience in compiling the ODBC driver from source
using something other than Microsoft's VC++ compiler? I would like to
look into possibly working on the source code and offering packages, but
don't have a copy of VC++. I was wondering if someone had any luck with
using something like MinGW or DJGPP.

Wow I didn't realize that, thank you I'm just a Linux guy trapped in a
Windows world these days.

Also a possible addition to the howto compile pgsqlodbc page
(http://psqlodbc.projects.postgresql.org/win32-compilation.h tml)
might be to mention that the source for PostgreSQL 8.1 is required. I
know this seems obvious, but for those of us using the odbc driver to
connect to remote computers it's not so obvious :)
