That'll do it. Just run setup.exe with the "-X" switch. Thanks Cool.

Chronon:
I added a note about this on the CygwinInstallWithScreenShots page in "Step 3".

Davide-NYC:
I've just installed Cygwin on a WinXPPro box and was able to run the rockboxdev.sh only after having installed the curl library.

If we are moving away from specialized rockbox cygwin packages (which I think is probably a good idea) I would suggest that cURL be added to the default installed packages list.

rockboxdev.sh isn't finished yet but I presume we also may need to add SDL to the default installed packages for building simulators.

EDIT: I couldn't find and SDL package for Cygwin so I built SDL from source. Maybe that could be added to rockboxdev.sh as an option?

Then the setup process becomes a bit simpler (albeit longer in terms of time due to compiling)
- Download and install CygWin with the following packages...
- Run this script.

:-)
