There are multiple ways to build Postgres code on Windows: MSVC,
Cygwin, MinGW. I cannot speak much for the MSI and packaging stuff
delivered by companies which are active in the community and others,
but for what it's worth the Windows port is still supported in the
core code, and we have folks interested in it (just committed a patch
to fix a rather old problem with MSVC port 30 minutes ago).
