Let me just through up a red flag on this. PostgreSQL uses more Unix
services that most software, and is almost the size/complexity of many
Unix kernels.
This is not going to be easy to do. CygWin works because it is
emulating the Unix things we need on NT. To do a native port, you would
have to translate all our unix service calls to NT-style library calls.
