can't get postgresql to start on cygwin...

Howdy all!

I have an updated cygwin installation including postgres, but when I
try and start it (according the the instructions here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_CYGWIN.htmlhttp://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_CYGWIN.html),
I get a bunch of errors when trying to run initdb:

initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -W -E LATIN1
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"Ed".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale ENU.
