Granted, the most common (only?) pgxn client right now is written in python, but it's certainly possible to run that on windows with some effort (BigSQL does it), and I'm fairly certain it's not that hard to package a python script as a windows .exe.
Yeah, that’s outside of PGXN’s mandate. It doesn’t do any installing at all, just distribution (release, search, download). Even the Python client just looks to see what build support is in a distribution it downloads to decide how to build it (make, configure, etc.), IIRC.
