Yikes, you want to run the PostgreSQL backend without Unix simulator
support! Wow, that sounds like a big job.

I know of no one who has done this. You can see from the FAQ item that
people have running under U/Win too, but I that is a Unix emulator too.

Seems like you would basically be writing another emulator for NT to do
the things we do under Unix, no?
