Chris, you just beat me to this. :-)  The only thing I'd add is you need to
either be more patient (<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-11/msg00842.html>)
or more vigilant/exhaustive in your search.  In the vigilant/exhaustive
category, you would have found what you were looking for with this mirror
<http://cygwin.elite-systems.org/>.  Of course, I'm not saying this mirror will
always be the most up-to-date.  That's where the "exhaustive" part comes
in. ;-)
