Laurence,

This is a generic Cygwin problem, not related to XFree86.  The problem 
is that cygpath hangs when called from a shell launched by setup.exe. 
This problem has been reported many times before.  It started happening 
about a month or two ago.  For a more detailed description, see my post 
below:

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-10/msg00049.html


Nobody seems interested in fixing this, myself included, so it will most 
likely remain broken.
