In the Windows world, the GUI is inseperable from the OS.

Now, on a server, I can't imagine the point. I mean, do you sit, logged in
to your server, watching the tray to see if PG is running or not?

I can, however, see it being a nice addition for someone who's running PG
on their desktop as part of a development environment.

In any case, I doubt it deserves to be part of PostgreSQL proper. If
someone is interested, probably a pgfoundry project would make sense.

It's been done ...

There is one already:

could it be bundled into the installer? There are more uses for a
database server then servers alone...

If someone makes a stackbuilder compatible installer for it (which I
think may have already been done), yes. But not while it's classified as
alpha-version...
