Are you sure that you read the one from 7.1.3?  Maybe you read the one
from 7.1.2.  Here is a snippet from the 7.1.3 README:

4. Install postmaster as a NT service:

    # cygrunsrv --install postmaster --path /usr/bin/postmaster --args "-D /usr/share/postgresql/data -i" --dep
ipc-daemon--termsig INT --user postgres --shutdown # [5] [6]
