You must not have scanned very hard.

Yes, if you did not select it to be installed.  cygwin-1.5.21-1 is only
the runtime package that all other cygwin packages depend on, and g++ is
one of those other packages.  Rerun setup.exe to select and install it.

You don't (at least, you shouldn't need to, although it is technically
possible).  Let setup.exe do the work instead.
