Cygwin setup.exe has no dependency checking :
- between Cygwin packages,
- between a package and cygwin.dll.
Therefore, you cannot just install PostgreSQL and the required packages
easily. Furthermore, Cygwin does not allow the installation of Windows native
packages, i.e. Apache 2.0.
Therefore, I think a possible solution would be migrating dpkg to native
Windows using mingw, then create a W32/Debian Cygwin package (=get rid of
this horrible setup.exe) and work on Perl installation scripts like fink.
