For this sort of question, you can either use the package search at
http://cygwin.com/packages/ or simply use cygcheck:

$ cygcheck -p dialog.exe
Found 2 matches for dialog.exe.
tetex-bin/tetex-bin-2.0.2-15    The TeX text formatting system
(binaries).
tetex-bin/tetex-bin-3.0.0-3     The TeX text formatting system
(binaries).

In this case however, tetex-bin does not contain dialog.exe but=20
tcdialog.exe.  That file does seem to be dialog.exe by a different name
though, so you might want to add "alias dialog=3Dtcdialog" to ~/.bashrc

This might be a packaging bug: typing "man tcdialog" brings up the=20
dialog(1) man page, which suggests that something is not quite right.
