Probably not. for one thing, it'll be a new port, and for another, it
will still optimized for Unix primarily, and any optimizations for Windows
that get in the way of Unix optimizations or require IFDEFs all over the
code are likely to not be accepted.
However, the earlier testing with the 7.2.1 windows port showed it to be
MUCH faster than running postgresql under cygwin.
