Over the last few months, I have seen numerous posts on the Cygwin
PostgreSQL and Cygwin mailing lists indicating that cygipc and/or
PostgreSQL had problems running on XP Pro.

I finally got around to trying these packages on XP Pro for myself.
AFAICT, cygipc and PostgreSQL function on XP Pro identical to how they
function on the other NT platforms:

1. ipc-daemon runs properly as a direct NT service without the need to
   wrap it with cygrunsrv.

2. The basic Cygwin PostgreSQL installation works as expected. [1]

3. The NT services Cygwin PostgreSQL installation works as expected. [1]

Notes:

[1] Installations documented in the Cygwin PostgreSQL README:
