PostgreSQL 8.0 and cross-platform capabilities

Hi all,

I'm thinking about how we don't really have native compatability for
Windows.

Apparently Apache has designed their own cross-platform compatibility
layer which other projects can use, so that most of the cross-platform
coding concerns are taken care of.

Has anyone out there taken a look at it? Sometime in the future (that's
why I've written PostgreSQL 8.0), if that Apache cross-platform
compatibility layer is any good would the HACKERS consider us using it?

???

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

I know that Apache2 is using shared memory, and as far as I know, their
compatability layer does do this under Windows ...
