Haven't looked at it, but it does look quite good. Seems like its worth a go at it.

I'm not sure if that's just inherent difficulty or if there's something that can be done to make the process painless.  I'm guessing the former because that's the way C programs roll.

The PL/Java builds for Windows seem to be compiled with MinGW, which is kind of ugly when Pg is built with MSVC. I haven't looked into what's involved in building extensions out-of-tree on Windows yet as I've always just moved them into contrib/ in the source tree and built them as part of a PostgreSQL source build.
