According to the README, I wasn't running cygserver (and
cygserver-config). I tried doing that, but get "bad system call"
errors anyway.

If your "previous advice" is about sending cygcheck.out to the list,
I'm going to have to say no. Otherwise, I don't understand your
complaint.

Anyway, I found out that PostgreSQL seems to support Win32 directly,
so I'll try that.
