Updated Cygwin Package: postgresql-7.4.1-2

New News:
=== ====
I have updated the version of PostgreSQL to 7.4.1-2.  The tarballs should
be available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly.

The following is the only notable change since the previous release:

    Revert configure with --includedir=/usr/include/postgresql change
    since its need was obviated by the following 7.4.1 change:

       Install ECPG include files for Informix compatibility into
       separate directory.

I guess I should read the release notes next time... :,)

If you are upgrading from 7.4, then please heed the following:

    This version, as with most minor versions, does not require a
    dump/reload to put into place. That said, there are some changes to
    the information schema that require a DROP/reload of that *specific*
    schema ... please read the HISTORY file for instruction on how to do
