With a small modification to src/tools/msvc/Install.pm (see attached
patch) it's possible for me to build with msvc and install postgres on a
Windows xp box and leave cygwin in the PATH. Since I use cygwin
frequently it's usfull for me to have it in the PATH.
This might not work on Win9x platforms. But is that platform supported
for development anyway?
