Still seeing "Win32 error 1062" starting sshd with "cygrunsrv -S" with openssh-4.5p1-1. Suggestions, please?

You have the same problem as Jason.  Get rid of all the old cygwin1.dlls
that you have on your system.  Keep just the one in "C:/cygwin/bin".
If you still have problems after that, you may have tried to start 'sshd'
from the command line.  This will set the improper permissions on some
important files/directories, as others have suggested.  See the
'/usr/bin/ssh-host-config' script for the files/directories involved and
their proper ownership and permissions.  You may be able to get away with
just running the script again (don't know for sure - don't have the script
handy).  You may want to try that first before resorting to making the like
changes by hand.
