I have never tried cross compiling PostgreSQL for Windows, and I
don't know if it works. If you have a Windows machine, do it there,
if not, forget it since you cannot even test your binaries :^)
You can either use PGXS with MinGW, which should work just like
building on UNIX, or use Microsoft Visual C++ / Windows SDK.
If you use EnterpriseDB's binary downloads, which are built
with MSVC, you'll have to compile your extension "by hand".
I have read a report that extensions built with MinGW are
compatible with EDB's binaries if you use --disable-float8-byval
(http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/archives/246-ODBC-Foreign-Data-wr
apper-odbc_fdw-on-windows.html).
