dvi, pdf and ps format are removed from cygwin xmlto package because 
there is no way to generate these output formats using cygwin-only 
packages.

They requires xmltex and passivetex which are not available as cygwin 
packages. I'll add support for missing formats soon after somebody will 
contribute these packages for cygwin.

Regards.
