Default windows docs?



I'm thinking rename the current faq to faq_win32_cygwin and then create a new
faq faq_win32_native based the pginstaller one. Does anyone feel they ought
to be combined? I guess another alternative is jut remove faq_mswin from the
main sources and then leave it up to cygwin/native projects to maintain thier
own faqs, with perhaps a single question in the main postgresql pointing to
both of the other faqs... anyone have a preference?

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.

Well, istm that the # of native users will grow larger than the number of
cygwin users at some point in time (probably right after release, but hey).
Personally I like the idea of a single win32 faq for the main branch with
specific links to both a cygwin and native specific faqs, but barring that,
we could combine both documents together and make a 3 sectioned windows
specific faq, with a section on general stuff, cygwiun stuff, and native
stuff. Both projects could then just link to that faq.

I have moved the MinGW/Win32 project page into FAQ_MINGW in CVS. I
updated it to be more of an FAQ than a project page, and moved the TODO
items the proper places in our official project.
