This seems to happen to me eventually whenever I install Cygwin. I  
usually end up using SFU. It's more of a bitch to get working, but at  
least you can use pkgsrc. (Other options: MinGW/MSYS, DJGPP, UWIN,  
unxutils.)

I've never tried to fix the Cygwin problem, though :p. Perhaps it's  
something simple that my lazy self just hasn't discovered. I have  
wondered if it's a $PATH issue... I think that I changed my Windows  
$PATH right before it happened last time.
