cgf:
Could you please add the following components to cygwin in bugzilla.

cygwin:
  - bash
    versions: 2.05b
  - postgresql
    versions: 7.4.5, 8.0.0, snapshot
  - curl-devel
    versions: 7.11.1

Just to write down all known pending issues, for our dear maintainers.
Something which Pierre will not be able to solve.
