There is no pre-alpha version in which a postgres or any other database
backend is available, much less supported.

Instructions for building on Windows can be found at
<http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows#Instructions_for_an_.28almost.29_automated_build>. I
don't see why they wouldn't apply to the "gda-dev" branch, where the most
recent DB-related efforts are taking place, except I don't think building on
Windows is a goal for that branch, right now.
