It's definitely possible. The better question is how likely it is. ;-)
It's probably already clear that I don't spend a lot of time using the
RDKit under Windows. Aside from some automated builds that we do at work
(only parts of the code), I tend to really only build it in Windows while
preparing a release. Adding an additional component to the Windows build
adds an additional testing requirement and complication to the release
process. Due to the way Windows licensing works, I can't set up several VMs
to make this easy/automateable, so it requires some effort. Doing this for
something that I personally would never use under Windows (the cartridge)
and where effective testing would be tricky makes me nervous. It gets more
complicated when you factor in the matrix of things that would need to be
tested: Win32 or Win64? Is it really ok to only support the latest version
of PostgreSQL or are people going to want older versions too? etc.
I will try to find some time before the next release to see how feasible
this is, but I'm not going to make any promises.
