I'm heading for four weeks holiday in 8 days, so I'm quite busy with paid work
+ preparing things ...

Brrr. I hate platform specific Makefiles. Once somebody changes the master
Makefile you have to port every change yourself. (As happened e.g. with glib!)
Usually I prefer either short build scrips (calling make, patch, install etc.)
or plain autoconf/automake. But if it's usual within Pgsql, it will be the way
to go.
Perhaps later (September). I meant my mail as a 'It's possible, I made it this
way' message.

Oh, I knew. I simply didn't go that far.
Since I'm maintainer of some other OSS projects I don't have too much free
time, perhaps someone else wants to step in the gap?
Christof
PS: The port was done on a MinGW cross compiler on an iBook (debian PPC).
PPS: I took cygwin out of the CC list since it get's more internal to pgsql.
