I'd like to help.  I've been following the list for several months now.
I'd like to submit a patch or two and get a little active if I can cut
the mustard, so to speak.  If not, I can always supply a little testing
and benchmarking.  I have some experience writing backends, GIS, xml,
and all manner of database.  Unfortunately I have very low familiarity
with unix tools, except cvs.

Is there a non cygwin version of the source that will compile (or not)
on a win32 machine?  That would be a great place to start.

Sure, Neil Conway updated Jan's patches for 7.3.  It is in:

Re: Roadmap for FE/BE protocol redesign

If there's a build of this available we'd love to test it in a major project
we're working on. The project is currently using the 7.2 build that was made
available, but we had to work around the lack of schema support by kludging
table names as "namespace_table", so a 7.3 build would be great, with or
without installer.

So far, the 7.2 build has worked without a hitch, although our Db is *very*
simple, so the feature set has hardly been stressed.

FWIW, all access in our app is via JDBC.

One of the big things holding us back from using Pg in our shipped product
is lack of a released native Windows port, so I'm very keen to see this
progress.
