This message might be of some help to you:

http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2008-06/msg00563.html

http://rapidshare.com/files/98717404/setup.exe

Perhaps one of the setup.exe experts could remark on
the advisability of trying this.  I used it with success
once in the past when my cygwin 1.5 installation became
corrupted.
