Hi Attila,
Probably the best place to ask is on the PostgreSQL "Cygwin" mailing
list, as the people there specialise in Cygwin/Windows knowledge. Much
of the PostgreSQL Community has stronger knowledge of non-Windows
environments.
You can join that mailing list by going to:
http://developer.postgresql.org/mailsub.php
Hope that helps.
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
