Lucee is very intuitive and powerful, so it's more for ease of use than 
anything, and to attract more Lucee users to use PostgreSQL (most of 
them use SQL Server or MySQL).

If the pl/v8 was easily ported to Windows then I probably wouldn't even 
try to add Lucee, but it seems to be quite difficult to compile the 
latest versions for Windows and it looks like the project is not 
maintained (for example, it uses an older version of V8 with no known 
intention to upgrade).

If I had more experience with C++ then I'd probably try to update V8, 
but so far my attempts have not been very fruitful.

That seems like a good place to start, thanks.  Are there also any docs 
about the subject?
