Well, I've been trying to do this myself. Go to http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/download.html and run the setup program which will install the latest Cygwin, and even copy in a PostgreSQL 7.1 RC2 directory to go with it. I'm not able to make it work, though. First, it seems odd that they provide this package which should require Cygipc, and don't seem to be providing Cygipc (I found that here http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/index.html). Second, the first instruction in the INSTALL document is to run ./configure, and when I do I get an error saying I won't be able to install because my C compiler cannot make executables. If this helps you, and you get farther than me, I'd love it if you would write back on how you made it work.
