Well, I know nothing whatever about mingw, let alone packaging for mingw on
Fedora, and do not intend to learn about it.  So I'm not sure I can contribute
much here.  I can partially answer spot's question though: the patches we carry
in the Fedora postgresql package are things I don't care to upstream because
they adapt the software to more-or-less-Fedora-specific issues, like obeying
FHS layout or meeting the proscription against using rpath.  I'm not sure if
any of that is applicable to a mingw build.
In general though I think the thrust of his question is good --- you should
make this look as much like the regular Fedora postgresql package as you
reasonably can.  At the very least it seems like having the same set of
subpackages is a reasonable expectation.  (But leave out PyGreSQL and pgtcl,
which really should get split into their own SRPMS, and will be if those
packages ever get through review.)
