It would be really good if we had a one-stop-shop for FAQ items for
Windows users, though... Look at the installer faq now for example - a
lot of those Qs are about postgreqsl itself and not the installer. But
that's where people look (or in the main FAQ, but not in both). Or we
can chose to live with duplicate questions... As long as we keep the
answers in sync.
