The above is expected and fine with me. If Cygwin PostgreSQL can
support the requested functionality, then I will build and package as
appropriate.

No.

No, so far all (latest and contrib) packages share the same installation
location -- /usr.
I was just blindly going along with what configure (with defaults)
and Kevin Lo's Windows 2000 web page suggested.
With more information and some reflection, I would like to configure
Cygwin PostgreSQL as follows:
configure --with-CXX --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/postgresql \
--mandir=/usr/man --docdir=/usr/doc/postgresql-$version \
--includedir=/usr/include/postgresql --datadir=/usr/share/postgresql
where $version is the PostgreSQL version (e.g., 7.1RC3) and the
--docdir value is following a Cygwin /usr/doc convention.
Note that the above configure options are essentially a subset of those
used to generate the RPM on the PostgreSQL ftp site. The only exception
is the --docdir value. Is this layout more acceptable?
Thanks,
Jason
