it's in cygwin sources in directory winsup/utils/
you can either get cygwin's source tarball or pull them via cvs.

note, that you need libbfd and libintl in source tree (or normally
built and installed on your system) to compile dumper.exe. without
them make process prints an appropriate message and don't build
dumper.

you'll also need reasonably recent gdb (5.0 will do, iirc) to work
with cygwin core dumps.
