Some information required

All,

We were planning use PostgreSQL under the Cygwin environment - but this is what i found mentioned about usage of Postgres under the Cygwin environment.

This is the extract from the online book - Practical PostgreSQL

"Note: Although PostgreSQL is capable of running on a Win32 platform, this book does not cover installation on Windows. The Win32 version of PostgreSQL requires the Cygwin environment and will not operate independently within Win32. Although Cygwin can be useful in many situations, the use of PostgreSQL in a Cygwin environment is not recommended"

If you look at the last line it says " use of PostgreSQL in a Cygwin environment is not recommended" - why is this so. What are the problems that one could encounter when using PostgreSQL under the cygwin environment.
