Since the patch is against CVS, you need to supply the -p0 option:

$ cd /usr/src/postgresql-7.3.1/src
$ patch -p0 </usr/src/postgresql-7.3.1/tcl.patch

No. The /lib and /usr/lib directories are actually the same (e.g.,
C:\cygwin\lib) but appear to be two due to a mount point:

$ mount
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
