There is no native PostgreSQL for Windows available to date and will never be
(according to the Hacker list). One way or another, you need Cygwin installed.

It is theoriticaly possibility to link Cygwin statictly during PostgreSQL
compilation under Windows. This has been done before with other Cygwin
products. Unfortunately, this was never done with PostgreSQL.
