here are the patches for psql on Win32:

Browse Source 
psql4win32.patch  - changes in the psql source code
  psql-ref.patch    - changes in the documentation psql-ref.sgml
                      (for new builtin variable WIN32_CONSOLE)

To apply them use "patch -p 1" in the root directory of the
postgres source directory.

These patches fix the following problems of psql on Win32
(all changes only have effect #ifdef WIN32):

  a) Problem:  Static library libpq.a did not work
     Solution: Added WSAStartup() in fe-connect.c

  b) Problem:  Secret Password was echoed by psql
     Solution: Password echoing disabled in sprompt.c

  c) Problem:  8bit characters were displayed/interpreted wrong in psql
               This is due to the fact that the Win32 "console" uses a
               different encoding than the rest of the Windows system
     Solution: Introduced a new psql variable WIN32_CONSOLE
               When set with "\set WIN32_console", the function OemToChar()
               is applied after reading input and CharToOem() before
               displaying Output

This variable is only useful when working under the Win32 command
console. As the Win32 command console uses a different encoding than
the rest of the Windows system. Eight-bit characters (e.g. German Umlauts)
are corrupted. When this variable is set the command console encoding will
be translated into ASCII encoding for input and output.
