-**NOTE:** The PostgreSQL developers have [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.postgresql.devel.general/137878|stated quite unambiguously]] that they do not support static linking and will disable it completely in future releases.  If / when that happens, it will be necessary to link ''libpq'' and the ffmpeg libraries dynamically.
+PostgreSQL includes its own implementations of certain functions which are not available in Win32, such as ''inet_aton()'' and ''strlcat()''.  Unfortunately, so do the [[ffmpeg|ffmpeg libraries]].  We resolve this conflict by using macros to transparently add a ''pq_'' prefix to each of these functions.
+**NOTE:** The PostgreSQL developers have [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.postgresql.devel.general/137878|stated quite unambiguously]] that they do not support static linking and will disable it completely in future releases.  If / when that happens, it will be necessary to link ''libpq'' (and possibly also the ffmpeg libraries) dynamically.
 First, get the latest source (currently 8.3.9 for the 8.3 branch) from http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v8.3.9/ and extract it in a convenient place.
