When I package Cygwin PostgreSQL, I only do a "make install".  From
src/include/Makefile, we have the following:

    # 'make install' installs only those headers needed for client-side
    # programming.  'make install-all-headers' installs the whole
    # contents of src/include.

Hence, the short-term workaround is to download and unpack the source
tarball.

For the long-term, does anyone having any opinions on whether or not I
should include the "install-all-headers" headers too?

Thanks,
Jason
