You need to start ipc-daemon2 before.

less /usr/share/doc/postgresql-7.4.1/README and
less /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.4.1.README
is enough.

And one important issue is missing from the first section
of the README:
And you need to pass --locale=C to initdb also.
I use this:

$ ipc-daemon2 --install-as-service
$ net start ipc-daemon2
$ export PGDATA=/usr/share/postgresql/data
$ initdb --locale=C
$ pg_ctl -o -i

Option -i to enable TCP/IP connections since I couldn't make it connect 
via sockets.
