PostgreSQL for Windows, without Cygwin

Greetings,
 
  Does anyone know some project/url about Windows porting of PostgreSQL, without Cygwin? I found a group that say they'd compiled a Windows release from original source code, but once their release isn't free, I would like to know if there are some free/GPL working on the net.
 
Best regards.

Sure, I sent an email to them asking about their PostgreSQL for Windows.
Here is the answer :

"A versão Windows do dbExperts PostgreSQL foi desenvolvida a partir do fonte
original da versão de Linux na versão atual 7.1.3 as bibliotecas necessárias
foram recompiladas junto com o fonte. Existe total compatibilidade entre as
versões Windows e Linux do dbExperts PostgreSQL." (dbExperts)

Translation :
The bdExperts PostgreSQL for Windows was developed from original Linux
source code of  PostgreSQL 7.1.3. In the actual version, the libraries
needed were compiled with the source. There are full compatibility between
both Windows and Linux bdExperts PostgreSQL.

URL : www.dbexperts.com.br (portuguese - I couldn't find an english version,
maybe you could email them)

I hope this can help you.

Best regards,
