initdb is only needed per 'database cluster' - i.e. a directory that you
nominate to store the files. So, after first install you do the initdb
command as directed by the readme in the cygwin postgresql package. However
for every subsequent power up you only need to start the postmaster as
directed in the documentation.
Hope that helps.
