After digging a bit more, I found additional -k options on the httpd man page, which would suggest that /usr/sbin/httpd -k install might install httpd as a windows service. However, when I do this I get an "illegal usage" message, along with the usage help (which does not include the -k install option, but only start/restart/graceful/graceful-stop/stop for -k). I suspect that when the man page says "only on the Windows platform" they are not referring to Cygwin, but native windows instead. As a result, I moved further on to simply using cygrunsrv. The old httpd2_config file creates some directories and then does: cygrunsrv -I httpd2 -d "CYGWIN Apache2 web server" -p /usr/sbin/httpd2 -a "-DNO_DETACH -k start" so I believe that this should work (minus all the twos).
