I'm not sure that I am grokking your questions... If postmaster is not shutting down cleanly and leaving a stale postmaster.pid file, then you need to replace you Cygwin DLL with the 2001-Jul-28 snapshot or later. Note that this is documented in the Cygwin PostgreSQL 7.1.3-1 README file. If you are asking for an automatic way to remove arbitrary stale pid files cause by events like power failures, then I don't have any canned solutions to offer you since I haven't tried to solve this problem (yet).
