You should look at MinGW as a development toolkit, not a platform. PostgreSQL builds and
runs just fine on the Windows platform. Personally, I use Eclipse C/C++ with MinGW since it
brings me a number of advantages. The most prominent one is that I only need to master one
IDE regardless of platform.

Seems some people has done a lot of work to get things working with VC++ already. Search for
the word MSVC on this list.
