It's not entirely a no-go. If you really want it, you could download
and build postgresql using mingw. That will give you the pgxs files to
build it with. Yes, it's a really hard and painful way to do it, but
it can be done :-)

I wonder how hard it would be to make MSVC build files for the
temporal extensions. IIRC it's a very simple project. Jeff - have you
looked at this?
