Isn't that the challange? :). The few mirrors I tried are up2date..

I managed to select 'prev' instead of 'current' in setup.exe - and
downgrade all packages to their older versions (this gets rid of the
_impure_ptr error). However I can't downgrade cygwin to
cygwin-1.5.10-3 cleanly.
I'm able to use 'tar' method to downgrade to 1.5.10-3 - and try a few
things out. But I can't make it permanant - as 'cygcheck -c cygwin'
gives 1.5.11 - and this breaks some other tools.
