Well, if it has aready done the work of initdb and creating an initial
database, i think it would make it signifigantly easier for people to
test. Other bonuses would be that it could pull together some of the
ancillary applications that go along with postgresql, and that windows
users could test it out without having to install another os or cygwin.

Don't you think it would be nice to be able to hand these out to folks
at conventions? (
