Cygwin snapshots are now installed through the Cygwin Setup program.  On 
the Select Packages screen, using the Pending or Up To Date view, select 
Cygwin as a package.  Then click the dropdown to see the New versions 
available.  Snapshots are shown just like regular or test versions of 
other packages.
