How do I get an old version of cygwin?

My company has a small program that we use to pull data from files on 
multiple OSes. 

We use the latest version of cygwin on our own internal computers to run 
under windows systems and this works fine.

However, one of our clients has an old version of cygwin that uses the 
1.5.4 DLL.  This is a DLL on a production box over which we have no 
control.  The client themselves just installs the product from another 
vendor and it just works.  This is not a full version of the cygwin 
install.  There are no build tools on this box.

My problem is that to support this client I need to get an install of 
cygwin 1.5.4 onto a windows box so I can compile our program to run on 
their production server.

I have tried to compile and just install the executable on their machine 
and that doesn't work; the DLL is the wrong version.   I have tried 
copying their DLL over onto my box and get the error; all my installed 
tools complain that there is a wrong DLL installed.

So, what I need is to install the exact DLL and build tools, all at the 
same time onto a box.  I am willing to do a checkout and build from CVS 
if pointed to the directions on how to do this.

Thanks in advance!
