The pgaccess man page contains the following:

    NOTES
           pgaccess  is  written in Tcl/Tk. Your PostgreSQL installa-
           tion needs to be built with Tcl support for pgaccess to be
           available.

Cygwin PostgreSQL is not configured with Tcl/Tk, which explains why
pgaccess is not including in the distribution.  Cygwin PostgreSQL is not
configured with Tcl/Tk because Cygwin Tcl has "issues."  If interested,
search the archives for the details.
