Mark,

Please post instead of sending private email.

Why didn't you post to the pgsql-cygwin list instead of frustrating
yourself for 3 days?

At least one other person seems to think otherwise:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-08/msg01551.html

However, I agree that the README could be improved. Why not be
constructive and make suggestions instead of just complaining?

BTW, do you understand that I volunteer (significant amounts of) my
(very limited) free time to provide a pre-built Cygwin PostgreSQL
package? Before I got involved, one had to port and/or patch the source
and build it for Cygwin themselves. IMNSHO, most Cygwin PostgreSQL
users are better off with my pre-built package than without it.
