I have been working on OpenVMS on and off for a few years, but I am
sure a lot of people are more qualified than I am :)

I guess I will create a page in the PostgreSQL wiki about the port,
and put the ToDOs list in there.

To others: Given that Ingres was ported to OpenVMS, and given that
many other opensource apps have been ported to OpenVMS without a lot
of effort, I believe we should at least try before giving up OpenVMS.

P.S. Ingres has a number of VMS users:
