In response to Is it possible compile Pg 7.1.3 in order to run under Win98?  (Gianfranco Masia <gf.masia@eprom.it>)
List pgsql-cygwin
All of 7.x versions of PostgreSQL (generously patched by Jason) run on w9x with the same restrictions they do on
NT/2000."make tests" is the place where the things differ, w9x/cygwin having not all the facilities the test suite
assumes.Also installation process is somehow simpler, as there are no file ownership problems to deal with. This leads
tosome security issues, but they are OS inherent in this case. 
Oh, and there are of course, cygwin problems for some versions of the dll, check this list for their history.
