Chris,
Sorry, but I feel the need to clarify some points for the archives...

To be more accurate, Cygwin PostgreSQL's prefix is /usr -- just
like all other official Cygwin packages.

Is there really a "default PostgreSQL install dir?" IMO, the above is
just the default prefix used by PostgreSQL configure. For example, I
have never found a PostgreSQL RPM that uses this prefix.

The above will only work if the user's current working directory is /.
I recommend the following instead:
$ wget -nd -P /tmp http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/cygipc-1.13-2.tar.bz2
$ tar -C / -xjf /tmp/cygipc-1.13-2.tar.bz2
