Hi --

Just read the cygwin/postgresql install instructions, located at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/text/FAQ_CYGWIN
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/text/FAQ_CYGWIN> .

These were very useful, but seemingly incomplete. After some frustration
followed by googling, we found the right answers here:

Basically before you run /usr/sbin/cygserver, you need to:
a) set CYGWIN = server environment variable
b) run cygserver-config

and then continue your instructions with 3a) on the above referenced FAQ
page.

Thanks for this wonderful tool, and making it work with CYGWIN. Its presence
has been extremely useful for our development efforts.
