Don't know if this helps, but I pretty well have an install procedure
that installs a Postgres 6.5.1 binary tree with enough of cygwin to
make it work, so the user never has to go get cygwin or compile
Postgres. It's very basic, no spiffy GUI, it just asks several
questions and goes to work...
I have also been able to install it as a service, though I have not integrated
that part with my install.
