With the default cygwin install a postgresql binary should have been
installed. From the BASH shell try:
initdb -D <datadir>
postmaster -i -D <datadir> &
To set a default datadir set PGDATA=<datadir>
If this doesn't work try looking to see if you can find initdb.exe and
postgres.exe and running them from whereever.
Hope this helps,
