the data directories should work as-is on another Windows computer with
the same major version and 'build' of postgresql and same 32 vs 64
bitness. By 'build' I mean like enterpriseDB installer vs BigSQL vs
custom-built. if custom built, the build options will need to be
pretty much the same (visualC vs gcc/mingw vs cygwin, and the same
general ./configure options, etc etc).
