Seems like we should also allow for a windows specific distribution of libpq as well.

I thought that the win32 stuff was being included as part of the base
distribution? IF so, wouldn't such already be included in any
libpq.tar.gz we created? Is there a reason why we'd need a
libpq-win.tar.gz (assuming that that is what you are suggesting?) ... ?
i'm merely suggesting that a *.tar.gz may not be the best method of distribution
for windows users.
