As a PostgreSQL user, I *wholeheartedly* agree. I have no need nor
interest in a Win32 solution. Period. If I perceive that an effort
to add a Win32 postgresql is adversely impacting the ongoing
development of Unix-based PostgreSQL then I will start looking at
other solutions.
In fact, if you folks could find additional resources that would
support Win32 development, it still seems to me that perhaps those
resources could be better spent improving the Unix version.
