There are three different issues :
1- package installer providing a minimal Cygwin version (other than Cygwin.exe
which does not work well),
2- a nice Windows GUI (like pgAdmin2),
3- Windows port of PostgreSQL.

1 can be achived easily.
2 already exsts thank to Dave Page.
3 can wait until we hit the market with 1 and 2.
This will give us more feedback.

So, the only problem remaining is the installer. Is anyone interested in
helping me releasing a W32/Debian Cygwin package?
Cheers, Jean-Michel POURE
