It looks like cygipc 2.00 depends on cygwin 1.50.  You can also install
that through Cygwin setup.  It is marked as experimental but is useful
because it fixes the chmod problem with Unix sockets.

However, the current version of postgresql only seems to work with
cygipc 1.14.  It sounds like postgresql would have to be recompiled to
work with cygipc 2.0.
