How? All builds what I saw was with tons of hacks. 
On windows, Postgres can build against Mingw, many versions of MSVC and etc
Also, you can build Postgres without some features or with extra and no good way to put this knowledge to CMake build system. 

 
At least we should replace Windows build system by cmake and if your worry about consistency of source files (it's very small problem actually) you can use current
Perl script to generate files list for CMake, it will be same as your 1.5 build system.
