Except the PgAdmin already mentioned, there also remains the pgaccess, a MSAccess like frontend to the database, written in Tk/Tcl, which is part of the main distribution.

By "main distribution" do you mean the standard cygwin install? I just ran
the cygwin setup.exe last week, but I don't appear to have a pgaccess
executable: see below

/cygdrive/c/cygwin>pgaccess
bash: pgaccess: command not found

/cygdrive/c/cygwin>find . -name '*pgaccess*'
./usr/man/man1/pgaccess.1
./usr/man/cat1/pgaccess.1.gz
./usr/doc/postgresql-7.1.3/html/app-pgaccess.html

The pgaccess man page contains the following:

NOTES
pgaccess is written in Tcl/Tk. Your PostgreSQL installa-
tion needs to be built with Tcl support for pgaccess to be
available.

Cygwin PostgreSQL is not configured with Tcl/Tk, which explains why
pgaccess is not including in the distribution. Cygwin PostgreSQL is not
configured with Tcl/Tk because Cygwin Tcl has "issues." If interested,
search the archives for the details.
