Cygwin is next on my list. The buildfarm client script does full server
builds, so MSVC isn't on the radar right now. FYI the steps in the
process are (more or less):

configure
make
make check
make contrib
make install
initdb
startdb
make installcheck
make contrib install
make contrib installcheck
stopdb

I don't intend to use the machine that is loris for long - it's too slow
and memory bound. If anyone has a nice fast Windows machine with 1Gb+ of
Ram that we could use for a buildfarm client (Windows Native and/or
Cygwin) that would be awesome.

Also, if anyone managed to port ccache to Windows that would be huge
too. Using it on Unix has proved to be a major gain.
