You have to install an authentication DLL and change a registry key, but
otherwise, yes.  There's a installer script called /bin/cyglsa-config
which does that for you.  And in the long run you will have to reboot
your machine each time you install a new Cygwin release when using this
feature.  Nothing's without a price ;)
