I'm thinking rename the current faq to faq_win32_cygwin and then create a new 
faq faq_win32_native based the pginstaller one.   Does anyone feel they ought 
to be combined?  I guess another alternative is jut remove faq_mswin from the 
main sources and then leave it up to cygwin/native projects to maintain thier 
own faqs, with perhaps a single question in the main postgresql pointing to 
both of the other faqs... anyone have a preference?
