I believe Corinna mentioned (and I will re-interate here) that the
"Cygwin Time Machine" is at your service.  It contains every(*) snapshot 
(circa) release of Cygwin, should you happen to need something from the 
past.  I don't tend to advertise this much, but it is publicly available. :)

(*) well, as far back as v1.3.12-4 (2002/08/13/043102)
