RE: What do I need to be able to compile the source in Win32

Yes. You could maybe do it in a Cygwin environment, but I think
it'd be an exercise in frustration.

It depends on your skills. Cygwin is a UNIX environment on NT under
development.

What do I need in Linux (Cygnus, lex, flex...)?

Cygwin 1.1.4 , CygIPC 1.05 or higher, the patch from Jason Tishler (posted
27-9 in the ports list).

Than follow the docs that come with PostgreSQL. In essence: make, make
install.
