It was exactly as Phil wrote: I put the ...\bin directory of my 
PostgreSQL installation (which contains libpq.dll) into my PATH and that 
helped: connecting to a PostgreSQL database now works. I didn't compile 
anything, not PyQt, not Python, not PostgreSQL. Possibly it would 
suffice to copy libpq.dll into a subdirectory of C:\Windows which is in 
the PATH anyway, but I don't know if that's a good idea. I know that 
early Firebird versions did copy a client dll into C:\Windows or 
C:\WINNT\system32.
