It's going to be of little use to 99% of Windows users anyway as it's written in Python. What was wrong with C?
It's 471 lines of Python code that leans heavily on that language's Dictionary type to organize everything. Had I insisted on writing directly to C first, it would have be of no use to 100% of all users in the 8.4 timeframe because it wouldn't be even remotely close to finished by now.
I'd ultimately like to use the Python version as a spec to produce a C implementation, because that's the only path to get something like this integrated into initdb itself. There were just too many thing to get under control for that to practical just yet.
