Good questions.  Ideally I'd assume that the new postgresql just works as
a replacement for the old postgresql so that existing service installations
using cygrunsrv are not suddenly broken.

Also, since sysvinit has no active maintainer anymore, according to Sergey,
it might also be dropped from the distro in a couple of weeks so you can't
rely on it.

For service installations, cygrunsrv is usually the way to go.  Lots of
changes has been made to it in 2001 by Fred Yankowski especially to get it
working smoothly with postgresql.
