[postgis-devel] Windows build

[Kevin Neufeld]

I agree.  Regina, if you want to occasionally put together a windows 
build for all to test - wonderful!  If you can swing it, I would 
recommend some kind of automated solution. I also don't see any problem 
hosting the snapshot/devel builds on our www.postgis.org server.

Cheers,
Kevin
