Install the sysV init package and install that to run as a service. That 
way you can run all your cygwin daemons as you would under *nix, using 
init scripts.
(You may have to write an init script of course as a lot of cygwin server 
programs expect to be run via cygrunserv not under init.)
For slapd try this as /etc/rc.d/init.d/slapd
