I had to tweak the README instructions, primarily adding quotes when needed.
Some of my changes may have been redundant:
Original:
net user postgres $password /add /fullname:postgres /comment:'PostgreSQL
user account' /homedir:"$(cygpath -w /home/postgres)"
Where $password is your new password and $(cygpath ...) is the path to
/home/postgres on your system as output in Windows format by the cygpath
utility.
New:
mkdir -p /home/postgres
chown postgres /home/postgres
net user postgres $password /add /fullname:"postgres "
/homedir:"C:\cygwin\home\postgres"
