And how would you check to find out where 'kpsexpand' came from?  Visit
<http://cygwin.com/packages/>, enter 'kpsexpand', and press enter.  Presto!
You now know that 'kpsexpand' comes from the 'tetex-bin' package.  You 
have that installed, so you can either look to see why that's not being found
for you anymore or you can just rerun 'setup.exe' and reinstall it.  The
choice is yours.
