Boy is this a FAQ!  Perhaps many people don't equate this kind of 
behavior with the FAQ entry:

What if setup fails?
http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_2.html#SEC15

However, this is exactly what happened.  Setup failed to install properly
on your system, either because you didn't install all packages as you're
supposed to or because of some issue not necessarily in your control.  See 
this FAQ entry for suggestions in the latter case.  Make sure you try 
*all* the options mentioned in the FAQ.  If one doesn't work, try the 
others.  If you're still having a problem, you can contact the list again
with the details the FAQ suggests.
