The nullsoft installer is quite nice. Not sure about Microsoft .msi
packaging...I'm sure that's pretty easy to work with, too. The
installer should besides unzip, offer to run a few batch files (initdb,
etc), set up the environment, and offer set up the postmaster as a
service.
A good windows program has no internal dependencies on the registry.
Postgres is already set up to use the environment which is a more
flexible setup than the registry for servers.

Is there any way to keep mingw/msys from spamming console windows when
compiling? It's very irritating :(.
