The Cygwin setup program makes pre-built binaries of postgres readily
available on Windows. (In fact, using this version is encouraged in the
Postgres for Windows installation notes.) A native Windows version would
not work either since the isatty() implementation there will only
recognize a Command Prompt window as a tty.
