There's quite a few issues. Here's what I had to do in order to get my stuff working. I don't think it's any use for me to submit changes in form of a patch at this point since pgxs seems to be a bit on the drawing table still. I started another thread that was not win32 related
also with the subject "Problems with pgxs" that I relate to here as well.

It's needed alright. It contains files included from c.h which in turn is included from postgres.h.

Yes, a special macro is needed for this, I made a change in Makefile.global (around line 176), like so:
ifdef PGXS
override CPPFLAGS := -I$(includedir_server) -I$(includedir_server)/port/win32 -I$(includedir_internal) $(CPPFLAGS)
else # not PGXS

Next problem is that the all-lib target is wrong (see other thread). I can get around that by changing my local makefile and instead of the recommended:
all: all-lib
use:
all: $(shlib)
Final issue is BE_DLLLIBS in Makefile.port. It's defined as:
BE_DLLLIBS= -L$(top_builddir)/src/backend -lpostgres
The src/backend is of course not present but what's worse, the libpostgres.a library is not included in the install. I copied it from src/backend into the <prefix>/lib directory and changed the Makefile.port to read:
ifdef PGXS
BE_DLLLIBS= -lpostgres
else
BE_DLLLIBS= -L$(top_builddir)/src/backend -lpostgres
endifand everything build OK.
