Win32 for 7.5... how to help?

I am already leading it, I think.

Hi all,

This probably more than a little premature/ill-timed, but I was hoping to
start a groundswell of support for Win32 port.

I, and I imagine quite a number of capable lurkers on the list, would love
to get involved. Is there a way that work can be doled out now/soon, so that
we can make the next release (and with more stability than we might have
expected had the port squeezed into 7.4).

How do we help?

No doubt this'll be shelved until some time after 7.4 is pushed out, but it
would be great if one of the Postgres "heavies" (figuratively :-) would
pro-actively lead this...

Best of all,
Claudio

Uh, the two big items are Win32 signal code, and reordering the startup
code to allow exec without fork. Both are pretty complicated, but I do
ask for assistance on the hackers list.

Ok. I guess we'll just keep our eyes peeled for the next time we can help
out.

Thanks for the replies...
