In the end, that's what I did: a new install.  Unfortunately, I haven't
found every package that I had installed previously, so there are things
that are broken: apropos doesn't always work, some man pages are missing
(probably the same problem), some binaries are missing.  I install things as
I find I need them.  I *wish* there were a way to find out everything that I
had installed, some kind of database that CygWin would maintain, and which I
could copy to my new install directory.  Sigh...
