To fix all vim's cygwin dll problems, reinstall libncurses5 package and
try again.
I am OK with vim now, after I did this as per CYGWIN/FAQ. It is
pretty-straight forward.
But Rob, I don't understand how selecting "Source" fixes this. See your
reply below.
For your quick info, here is a snapshot of this FAQ from cygwin
homepage.
My application cannot locate cygncurses5.dll!!!
-----------------------------------------------
If you upgraded recently, and suddenly vim (or some other Cygwin
application) fails with this message, it means that you did not follow
these instructions properly:
`http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2001/msg00124.html'. To repair
the damage, you must run setup.exe again, and re-install the
`libncurses5' package.
Note that setup won't show this option by default. In the "Select
packages to install" dialogue, click on the `Full/Part' button. This
lists all packages, even those that are already installed. Scroll down
to locate the `libncurses5' package. Click on the "cycle" glyph until
it says "Reinstall". Continue with setup.

Run setup in download only mode, and select "source" for every package.
It'll only download the missing tarballs.
