Thanks a lot to Jason, Patrick, and Pascal for your kind help.

Solution of my problem was.

- I downloaded latest Cygwin with Postgresql 7.3.1 and installed from cygwin.com

- Downloaded Cygipc 1.13-2 (Also sent by Patrick) and unzipped using

$ tar -C / -xjf cygipc-1.13-2.tar.bz2

- Created .bashrc in '/' directory

      PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/bin:/usr/local/bin
      PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
      PGLIB=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
      LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/local/lib
      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH PGDATA PGLIB

- Ran '$ source /.bashrc

- I ran '$ ipc-daemon&' and then I ran '$ initdb'

- Then finally ran '$ postmaster -i'

And to my surprise adduser, createdb etc. all started working. Cool!!!

And thanks again for your kind help guys.
