Due to the impending Cygwin 1.3.0 release, I decided to try the latest
Cygwin CVS myself to make sure that everything is OK w.r.t. PostgreSQL.

I used 7.1rc4 from Cygwin's contrib and everything seems to work as
expected. The regression tests all passed. Even the enhanced AF_UNIX
security worked as advertised. If the client (i.e., psql) has read
access to the socket file (i.e., /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432), then it can connect
to postmaster. Otherwise, the client gets a "Permission denied" failure.
