AFAIK  PostGIS requires a Cygwin compiled mapserver but maybe not
if you can find a Windows libpq client library to link against.

You will need Cygwin to run a postgreSQL server on WIN32 machine,
the postgreSQL server can be anywhere as long as it is 'network' available

FYI
I usually keep a compiled copy of the PostGIS postgreSQL extension
files for the current Cygwin and postgreSQL release at
http://www.vso.cape.com/files/cygwin/postgis_cyg.tar.gz

These assume that you have installed PostgreSQL in the 'default'
Cygwin location '/usr/share/postgresql'

Cheers
