Please keep cygwin messages on the cygwin list.

You still have to set up your system, add appropriate permissions to the 
account under which ipc-daemon2 will run, install ipc-daemon2 as a 
service, etc.  See the README.

But yes, now you can just point and click to download and unpack (I 
won't call it "installing") cygipc.

I think he said that he would continue to build postgresql against 
cygipc until cygipc's *replacement*, cygserver, went "gold" -- 
regardless of whether cygipc was distributed via gatech.edu or via the 
"normal" cygwin mirrors.

So, yes, postgresql still needs cygipc -- only now, it's easier to obtain.
