For me, I can only find these directories:
ftp://ftp8.us.postgresql.org/pub/pgsql/source/v7.4/
ftp://ftp8.us.postgresql.org/pub/postgresql/source/v7.4/
And both of them are empty.

When the drop eventually does become available will it contain any Win32
stuff (raw as it is)?

Might be some lag in that mirror synching; try
ftp://ftp3.us.postgresql.org/pub/postgresql/source/v7.4/

depends on what you mean by any. I believe that the standard tarball
will compile under windows, but to what extent it will actually run I
couldn't say. This release is not intended for native use on windows
(that had to be pushed back to 7.5), though it will certainly run via
cygwin.

Ummm ... will it compile? I thought that the issue with the Windows
native port was that it wouldn't yet ... something about fork() vs exec()
that Bruce was working on?

It compiles, but does not link because of the missing fork/exec and
signals.

Since it's always more fun to speculate than to wait for the proper
answer... I thought it would compile, but wouldn't actually run due to
exec/fork issues? Course that may have been someones development code
and not what got checked in I suppose...

I just checked, and out of the 6 listed US mirrors, all but ftp8 and
ftp15 are updated. ftp15 seems more out of sync than ftp8, as it doesn't
even have 7.3.4 yet. Maybe it's sync script only runs once a week or so.

Hmm.. the mirror ftp page is suppose to check that the site has rsynced
in the last 48 hours, perhaps a bug in the rsync parsing script?

just looking at the rsyncd.conf file on svr1 itself, is the following a
valid address:

hosts allow = \
114.73.139.66.in-addr.arpa, \

You could have an A record with a domain name using the typical format
used for PTR records. However in this case there is no A record for
114.73.139.66.in-addr.arpa. The ptr record points to doodah.gremlins.biz.
There is an a record for doodah.gremlins.biz which lists 66.139.73.114,
which matches the original ptr record.
