Today I made on of my irregular install and "play" with postgres. I
noticed in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-8.2.11.README that it says
"cygserver must run as service, CYGWIN must contain server." I vaguely
remembered seeing something about that environment variable recently,
and sure enough in
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html#cygwinenv-removed-options
I see "(no)server - ... This option has been removed".

So... does postgres still require it? I guess not (and will find out
later when I start "playing").
