And following that thread, you would find the solution to that problem would
be found in a snapshot or, more conveniently now, the new cygwin 1.5.21
package.

As Chris mentioned, if you want an exact duplicate of your installation
somewhere else, you need to copy your installation directory completely,
transfer mounts, and reconfigure and/or start services. There's no one
file with the total Cygwin configuration information in it. What you're
looking for is a kind of migration tool. At this point, no such tool
exists but any that would in the future would have the attributes
Chris mentions.
