Native Windows Postgres 8.x works fine with GRASS on Cygwin or *NIX.
   db.login driver=pg database=yourdb user=you password=yourPassword
   db.connect driver=pg database="host=localhost,dbname=yourdb"
   db.test test-test1

And the native Windows Postgres is so much easier to manage than the
Cygwin version!
