Although not an expert on Cygwin, I would guess keyboard mapping falls 
outside of Cygwin's domain of operation. However, Windows 2000 and XP 
have a thing called Scan Code Mapper, which can be used to do what you 
want. I myself have treated my W2K so it has no caps lock at all and the 
caps lock key behaves as a second (well, third, actually) control key.

See

for further details.
