If a reboot is allowable then you can use a tool like inuse.exe from the MS Resource Kit to schedule the files for replacement on the next boot. You could do a poor man's version of this that doesn't require a reboot by writing a batch file to move/copy the inuse files and running it via the built-in at.exe scheduler for 5 minutes in the future or whatever. The batch file would have to take care to stop all cygwin services, do the file operations, and then restart them. This of course would be rather brittle as missing some part of the upgrade would mean the services might not start again so you'd need a safety net like a vnc daemon running.
