Postgresql on Cygwin is a snap. Jason Tishler put together the 
Postgresql package and here is his install instructions:

http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/

And I have a little script that does it for me:

        ~/bin/psql $ cat START_PG
#!/bin/sh -x

rm /usr/share/postgresql/data/postmaster.pid
ipc-daemon2 &
postmaster -i -D /usr/share/postgresql/data &
        ~/bin/psql $

a different use Cwd must be commented out. I did a recursive search for 
all such uses:

cd /home/metaperl/.cpan/build/Alzabo-0.80/
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -e grep -n Cwd
./Build.PL:5:#use Cwd;
./inc/Alzabo/Build.pm:10:#use Cwd;
./Makefile.PL:11:#        require Cwd;
./Makefile.PL:16:        my $cwd = Cwd::cwd();
./t/lib/Alzabo/Test/Utils.pm:6:#use Cwd ();
./t/lib/Alzabo/Test/Utils.pm:58:    my $cwd = Cwd::cwd();

and commented them all out. Now the test suite passes and I am 
installing Alzabo-0.80. I am a happy man.

Many thanks to Randy for his help.

hmm, you have me licking my lips. A real Linux installation but with the 
tcp/ip ease-of-installation of Windows???
and no quirky compile problems because everybody develops and tests on 
Linux??? hmm....
