Greetings once again..  Question.

My company has an app that runs using PHP and postgresql.  We are thinking
of marketing it and selling it to customers. They would buy the prog, set
up their own server, and install and run the app.

My question:

Obviously, PHP and Postgres run excellent on linux.  However, the issue
with me is:  What happens when I get the phone call that the prog has been
sold to a windows freak?   I'm not sure it will make companies happy to
know that they've got to run Cygwin on top of windows, and have postgres
running inside that.  Is there a better way?  I've searched the net quite
a bit now, and I'm not happy.  There's a bit of documentation for postgres
on NT, but it didn't seem to be the entire postgres server side.

My question: Have you run postgres on windows inside cygwin before?  My
boss has high hopes of selling this; but the windows/postgres issue has me
worried.
