As I think I indicated, I am working on initdb in C.

I looked at the CONNX stuff, but between the C++isms and the Windowsisms
it looked to be not a good place to start - so I'm starting from scratch.

(This works for me because I can do most of the work on my Linux machine,
and not have to fight my daughter too much for use of the only Windows box
in my house that runs fast enough).

This will take me some weeks, I suspect. I have a scribbled list of
external dependencies that need direct some C replication (rm -rf, ls,
sed, etc.) and a couple of open items in my head (e.g. how good is Windows
popen() with redirection?). I don't see any blockers at this stage, it's
just a bit tedious.

BTW, for anyone working on this port, I recommend looking at the porting
guide on MSDN - it appears to have some useful info. Maybe the web page
should have a link to that too.

cheers
