Right.  The current version of cygwin doesn't support WinXP.

Probably not.

I don't know which would be better - trying to revert everything that
was upgraded or wipe the install and start over from scratch.  Either
way, you need to use the cygwin time machine
http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/timemachine.html
to install/update cygwin on winXP.
