If all you want to do is check the md5sum of one file, then you'll
probably find it easier to download a program that does only that.
Here's a link that was definitely working a month or two ago:

http://downloads.activestate.com/contrib/md5sum/Windows/md5sum.exe#!md5!eb574b236133e60c989c6f472f07827b

and that program doesn't require Cygwin at all.
