Isn't it? We didn't even support Windows for quite a long time. We still

And isn't there some "scratch your own itch" philosophy in every OSS

I'm with Josh here, get a PGAN up and running. Make it accessible via 
web to promote extensibility of Postgres and availability of extensions.

Whether the first incarnation of the PGAN client works on Windows or 
Linux doesn't matter for now.
