Jan is coming here tomorrow for 2-3 days, so I will know very soon how
do-able Win32 is for June 1. Of course, PITR is still unlikely by June 1.
Let me see what Jan finds tomorrow and I will report back. The majority
of the feedback so far seems to be to postpone for July 1. This gives
us more time for Win32 testing, and time for PITR.
Is there anyone who wants to argue for staying with the June 1 beta
date? If no, we can just assume July 1 for beta.
