The prebuild version of php/win32 (current version 4.0.5) at http://www.php.net , contains the driver for postgresql,
andalso has the capabilities to install under IIS as either a cgi application or as a sapi module. The build is a
nativewin32 port, so there is no need for cygwin. Although if you use a NT version of postgresql, you need a cygwin
installed.

I didn't test it in this environment but it should work work fine.

N.B. The distribution also includes a precompiled win32 libpq.dll (which is necessary for a proper mod_pgsql.dll
working).
