well, bruce said that it should work now.
I got reproducable crashes with IPC.
But I really think that are problems with our cygserver,
not with postgresql. That's why I'm busy with testing our cygserver,
and a few libtool bugs.

We need another patch to pg_ctl to convert the exe path.

cd /usr/src/postgresql/postgresql-8.0.0cvs/src/bin/pg_ctl
patch -p0 < cyg-ctlpaths.patch
make
cp ./pg_ctl.exe /usr/src/postgresql/postgresql-8.0.0cvs/.inst/usr/sbin

$ ./pg_ctl.exe unregister

$ ./pg_ctl.exe register
