Yes.

I tried to prepare a package for uuid-ossp, but the result files produce
naming conflicts with libuuid and I don't know how to resolve them.  If
someone helps me, I'm willing to continue.

If someone just needs the uuid-ossp postgresql extension, here's the
ugly solution:

1. make && make install uuid-ossp library (it will install into
/usr/local)

2. add --with-ossp-uuid to CYGCONF_ARGS and build Cygwin postgresql

3. just copy uuid-related files from inst subdirectory to the postgres
directory

4. CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp" now should work


Thanks Marco.
