One previous version, and that is *all*!
Now, you happen to be in luck, since there was recently discussion about a
mirror that seems to have stopped updating a month ago.
ftp://ftp.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp14/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/release
/postgresql/
still contains 7.2.{1,2,3}
I emphasize this is pure *luck* that this mirror seems to have broken at a
convenient time to save you a lot of trouble.
Max.
