Did you read the README file (/usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.1.3.README):

    Regardless of the installation type, the first step is to install the
    latest cygipc from:
     
      http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/cygipc/index.html
     
    The following is the basic Cygwin PostgreSQL installation procedure:
     
    1. Start the cygipc ipc-daemon:
     
        $ ipc-daemon &

If ipc-daemon is not running, then initdb and postmaster will hang.
