I put the following at the bottom of /msys/1.0/etc/profile:

POSTGRESHOME=/usr/local/pgsql
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$POSTGRESHOME/man
export PATH=$PATH:$POSTGRESHOME/bin::$POSTGRESHOME/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$POSTGRESHOME/lib
export PGDATA=$POSTGRESHOME/data
export PGLIB=$POSTGRESHOME/lib

And everything is peachy-creamy now.

An echo at the end of the make install might be a nice touch for mingw.
But then again, it might be a hassle for other operating systems.
