Might want to rename that one to FAQ_Cygwin or something? ;-) AFAIK, it
has nothing about the native port.

There is an installer-centric faq at
http://pginstaller.projects.postgresql.org/FAQ_windows.html. It also has
a number of non-installer-specific questinos. I beleive it was Daves
intention to get this one on the main site eventually. If not, perhaps
selected questions should be moved in..
