I came to that conclusion too, and tried it.  It does work, and it's
more natural than my original solution.

How does Cygwin's post-install system work?  If there's a Bourne shell
script you can modify, add this:

if [ "$OS" = "Windows_NT" ]
then
	servdir="`cygpath -u $SYSTEMROOT`/SYSTEM32/DRIVERS/ETC"
else
	servdir="`cygpath -u $WINDIR`/SERVICES"
fi
ln -s $servdir/SERVICES /etc/services
