website for install as service, because it's a quite a long and complex
process.

instructions were way out of date and incorrect.  Installing Postgres
from Cygwin is easier these days than the FAQ would imply.

This patch already includes Andrew's previous patch.

This fixes references to 7.1.3 (I think).  It also
modifies the japanese
FAQ, so I'm not sure if that's done correctly.

* doc/FAQ_MSWIN: Update to be consistent with software -- mainly change
comment from lack of Cygwin UNIX domain socket support and to list of
current Cygwin UNIX domain socket issues.
* src/include/config.h.in: Enable UNIX domain sockets for Cygwin.
* src/include/port/win.h: Disable UNIX domain sockets for Cygwin b20.1.
* src/test/regress/pg_regress.sh: Use UNIX domain sockets for Cygwin
instead of TCP/IP.

Update the installation instructions (formerly misnamed "FAQ"), add configure
checks for some headers rather than having users copy stubs manually (ugh!).
Use Autoconf check for exe extension.  This also avoids inheriting the value
of $(X) from the environment.
