It's already been done - that's the whole point.

Users HAVE provided their feedback - they want Postgres on Windows. What's
the point of open source if we can't accomodate them? There's no problems
with economics, marketing, schedules, deadlines, nothing. The reason that
people like Open Source is because they don't have to deal with some
monolithic company refusing to port to their platform just because it's "too
hard".
