Rodrigo with Windows I'm not sure how much the registry would have to
be edited (if at all) to run the same postgrsql installation from
windows machines A B and C.  I strongly doubt that you could just walk
up to a strange machine, plug in your USB drive, and away you go.

Some years ago when I was still running Windows at home I recall there
was a discussion on the cygwin mailing lists about running cygwin from
a cd drive.  You might want to check out their archives and see if you
could use that information.

Good luck.
