I sure did. My understand was, and someone else already mentioned, that
you're just using Cygwin to faciliate the build process, but that the
final executable does not use any part of Cygwin at all. Kind of like
using GNU Emacs to edit the code, but not including it in the
distribution. Maybe I'm wrong on that -- since I haven't and don't plan to
build PostgreSQL on Windows, I may have missed something.
