No, now you have two options to run it as service: cygrunsrv and pg_ctl.
What is the problem with the method used in postgres 7?
Nothing.

Not yet a package unfortunately.

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.
postgresql-8.x work with various types of service registrations
and start methods:
* The native one is via pg_ctl (new).
* My new init.d script is to mimic the old and wellknown behaviour using
cygrunsvr (as before).
* And then you can always start postmaster as before, without service
and without pg_ctl.
Important changes from 7.x to 8.x:
* admin binaries in /usr/sbin, and not in /usr/bin anymore.
(similar to debian)
* native windows service functions added to pg_ctl
* contrib binaries in /usr/lib/postgresql/bin
I recommend to set PGDATA to /usr/share/postgresql/data-8.0.
PGDATA is versioned and you can easily have multiple PGDATA dirs.
I have data-7.4, data-8.0 and data-8.1
To be specific, why doesn't the following (excerpt) from my PostgreSQL
7.x README work for 8.x?
$ cygserver-config
$ net user postgres $password /add /fullname:postgres /comment:'PostgreSQL user
account' /homedir:"$(cygpath -w /home/postgres)"
$ mkpasswd -l -u postgres >>/etc/passwd
$ cmd /c secpol.msc # grant postgres "Log on as a service" user right
$ cygrunsrv --install postmaster --path /usr/bin/postmaster --args "-D
/var/postgresql/data -i" --dep cygserver --termsig INT --user postgres --shutdown
Because 8.x put postmaster into /usr/sbin
I haven't checked --termsig INT though.
