After further fussing, I found that this install works just fine. It is a
7.0.3 version, not 7.1, but when I finally figured out that the default user
is "sysdba" instead of the "postgres" I expected, I was able to get it to
work. None of the machinations I suggested earlier like "initdb" were
necessary. Cygwin and Cygipc both get installed and configured properly
(though there are some stray registry keys that need to be manually deleted
if you uninstall, and then try to install again).
sorry for any confusion i might have caused,
