I noticed a couple of small potential gotchas: the generated batch file has
some of the filenames repeated. Also, in my installation there is one file
name with spaces:
e:\cygwin\usr\share\lcms\profiles\sRGB Color Space Profile.icm
so here is a version modified slightly to remove duplicate filenames and to
handle filenames with spaces.
#!/bin/bash
cut -f1 -d' ' < /etc/setup/installed.db | grep -v INSTALLED.DB | \
xargs --delim='\n' cygcheck -l | xargs --delim='\n' cygpath -w | \
sed -e 's/\(.*\)/del "\1"/g' | sort -u > remove-all-cyg-files.bat
