Matt,
Basically to use cygwin's  XSI IPC Message Queues, XSI IPC Semaphores, or 
XSI IPC Shared Memory, you need to do a few simple things. (Assuming Windows 
NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003)

#1. Run  /usr/bin/cygserver-config
#2. Then you might want to edit /etc/cygserver.conf Where you can set some 
IPC related maximums.
#4. reboot
#5. Be certain that the environment variable CYGWIN is set to 'server', do 
this in any way you wish (your POSIX background should make this simple) 
before running your companies programs. Good Luck.
