Make sure that the environment variables for whatever NT user the
postmaster service is running under are set to everything that
postmaster needs. Consider PGDATA, PGHOST, and PATH in particular.
Note that the .bash_profile and .bashrc files won't apply to the
service since it isn't run in the context of bash/sh. The Cygwin
/usr/bin (or /bin) folder should be in PATH too so that
postmaster/postgres can call system() on utilities like 'rm' and 'cp'.
