With PostgreSQL 7.0.3 under Cygwin, you have no choice but to run with
"postmaster -i" and "psql -h host" (where host could be localhost, etc.).

You don't have to, but I would strongly recommend it since it builds
OOTB (i.e., no patches are necessary) under Cygwin and for many other
compelling reasons too.

You can find it at:

    ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/dev/postgresql-7.1beta5.tar.gz

or another PostgreSQL mirror.
