hi raoul!

postgres support would be most excellent.  i think the biggest obstacle is 
the case sensitivity of column names.  the schema uses mixed case, and the 
column names are not consistent (some are snake_case, some are camelCase).  
these names are used directly (case-sensitive), throughout the weewx code, 
and particularly in the templates and plots.  the problem i encountered 
when doing a half-hearted attempt at postgres support (almost 10 years 
ago!) was the case sensitivity of the database.  i seem to recall issues 
mapping the mixed-case names into postgres (and also mysql on windows?  or 
maybe mysql with a case-sensitivity option enabled?) queries.

anyway, from a development point of view, V5 is stable enough that you are 
pretty safe to target that branch.  most of the changes now are packaging 
and bugfixes as we get ready for a release.  the core has been pretty 
stable for awhile.

but i defer to tom - he might want your changes to go through the 
development branch before hitting V5.
