Hi,

i have downloaded it with the cygwin package, and got it running. From the
cygwin homepage download a small installer, start it. It enables you do download
the binaries or do an internet based installation. Select a source mirror,
select the additional packages:

    postgresql 7.2.1
    crypt 1.0-1
    cygipc 1.11-1
    readline 4.2a-1
    libreadline5 4.2a-1
    zlib 1.1.3-6
    cygwin 1.3.10-1

If you have downloaded first, invoke the installer again for installation.
In

     ...\cygwin\usr\doc\cygwin\postgresql-7.2.1.readme

is a detailed intstruction list for the next steps.

hth,ulli
