I was just able to build successfully with Postgres (using r18172), on 
Vista Home "Premium" (ugh).

My problems from before appear to have been related to using the latest 
MSYS, 1.0.11-rc-1.  Once I gave up, then later decided to try again from 
scratch, I installed 1.0.10 instead.  At that point, a build with 
AQBANKING_WITH_QT=no and AQBANKING3=no completed with no issues that are 
not already noted on the web page (e.g. had to create /c/soft/tools by 
hand, etc.).

I do get a Windows error on startup because of libmysql.dll missing, 
which is fine (because it is).  I assume that's related to some 
auto-inspection of my environment.  Also had to put the Postgres bin 
folder in my PATH as well or I got the same for libpq.dll.  Other than 
that, appears to work.

Busily testing... I've got 5341 transactions of QIF data to import and 
sort out so that should let me kick a few of the tires. :)

Anything in particular I might be able to help test out?  I expect to be 
using this for production purposes (with careful backups and monitoring) 
in the near future.

(Thanks Phil!)
