Greetings:

I'm a long time MySQL/Windows user and have a very popular tutorial page
on the subject: http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/mybasic.htm

I have been wanting to try out PostgreSQL for some time. The need to do
some cross-platform testing has finally spurred me to take the plunge.
The new 7.4 release via Cygwin has made this a far simpler objective
(thanks to everyone who made this possible!).

While doing the install and during subsequent use, I ran into some
gotchas. Fortunately, I was able to figure out what was going on and got
everything working... eventually.

I have put together a patch for FAQ_MSWIN which will help future users
avoid these hitches. I hope this helps.

If y'all need clarification of why these steps were added, don't hesitate
to ask. I've subscribed to the list, so there's no need to cc me.

Enjoy,

--Dan
