What details are that?  Does it work or not?  If it does and you don't
want to upgrade, just make sure you don't inadvertently upgrade the next
time you run 'setup.exe'.  If it doesn't work for you, there seems to be 
little to loose by upgrading.  Anyway, the choice is yours but with the 
description you've provided so far, it's not clear why you're asking the 
question you're asking.

You might be able to find a stale mirror somewhere.  Or you can search 
the email archives for the announcement of the "Cygwin Time Machine".  Be 
aware though that this list does not support older versions of it's 
packages.  So if you choose to go this route, you're on your own.
