I have taken the material that Andreas posted back in February and added 
it to a "Win32" directory; that looks like all that can be offered as 
support at this point.

If someone can provide more meaningful Win32 support, then that would be 
nice.  This would requiree that a volunteer emerge who is prepared to 
take responsibility for making Slony-I components work on Win32.
