Are you saying that the completion of the win32 port will be what
decides feature-freeze? When it's ready, it's out of time for other
parts?

As already said, installer is a pgfoundry project, like other installers
(and yes; I'll put something up there RSN. Almost ready).
The fsync changes is the big thing.  


As for your other question, I beleive these are the only things we'd
classify as "addded features". There are a few known bugs (see Bruces
page http://momjian.postgresql.org/main/writings/pgsql/win32.html) as
well.

Yes ... the other features are important too, but right now, we are 
falling behind on marketshare because we are without a native Windows port 
... the other features keep us ahead of the pack, but we *need* the Win32 
stuff to close off the gap that has been growing ...

As Jan has already mentioned, we have several big features already in 7.5 
(ARC, bgwriter, etc), so it isn't as if 7.5 will revolve only around Win32 
...
