Our group has been tasked with not just porting Slony, but also making
sure there is full support for it in pgAdmin (for those that do not want
to use Slonik on the command line), and that it is included with the
pgInstaller distribution of PostgreSQL as standard. That is actually a 5
minute job, made all the more easier by the fact that Magnus & I wrote
95% of pgInstaller in the first place!

pgInstaller writes all it's locations to the registry to aid 3rd party
apps in finding things, however this is now real use to us of course
because we work unix style in Msys when developing/building, whereas
pgInstaller is pure Windows-style when it reaches the end user.
