I use MinGW when doing Windows work (e.g. the threading piece in
parallel pg_restore). And I think it is generally desirable to be able
to build on Windows using an open source tool chain. I'd want a damn
good reason to abandon its use. And I don't like the idea of not
supporting walreceiver on it either. Please find another solution if
possible.
