True.

So we could follow Igor's suggestion providing the sources in the binary 
package and compile it after download.

At least better than nothing. exim would need a comparative and simplier 
MTA.

I failed with trying to do some heavy processing with my new postgresql 
postinstall script. The compile step in a postinstall script would need 
to open a seperate console detached from setup.exe probably. Otherwise I 
see no light.

Well, if I had to choose, I would prefer exim over postfix,
(having both in production, with funky mysql vhosts and users)
and exim is already available as cygwin package.
