OK, I updated the FAQ by adding this sentence:
MSDOS-based versions of Windows (Win95, Win98, WinMe) can run
PostgreSQL using Cygwin.
I also updated the version number.
Magnus is going to update the pginstaller FAQ to talk about using Win32
and I am going to have the CVS Win32 FAQ talk about building on Win32,
and each FAQ is going to point to the other. Magnus, FAQ_MINGW already
points to the pginstaller FAQ. Can we complete the adjustement of these
FAQ's?
