It is possible to write PostgreSQL client applications than don't use
the Cygwin DLL and don't need to be open source.  The libpg client
library complies and runs natively under Windows.  A Windows application
can be linked against that library and not need to use Cygwin.  This is
done with the Perl DBD::Pg module.
