1.3.2 is ancient history. It's dead. I doubt there's a mirror out there
that carries it, and even if there was, most of the current packages won't
work with it.
What you want is to set your PS1 in bash properly. Something like
export PS1='\h: `cygpath -w "$PWD"`> '
should do it. If you want to only display Win32 paths for /cygdrive/*,
you'll need to go through some more contortions, but it's basically
possible.
