The only way that I know of to do this is to extract in one place and
copy everything to a new location using Windows commands.

DJ has suggested that I could make a cygwin-1.1.5 available as an
experimental download so that setup.exe could download it.  I will
probably do that once I'm sure that things are slightly more stable.

I'm still completely unable to duplicate the 100% CPU problem or the
bash exiting problem, so this will be slow going.
