You can download just the DLL from here: http://cygwin.com/snapshots/


And why doesn't it say that on the main page, or in its FAQ that's linked from the main page? At the top of the main page is a very convoluted "Setup.exe" installer that tries to put in a bunch of utilities that I don't need, and which takes forever to expand and uncheck each one. It also says on the main page that it's only distributed to people with a Red Hat Support contract, which is confusing.

Anyway, I've now got a copy of a working version of the DLL here, too, for anyone that wants it.

All you need to do is get Mark's TGZ of the upgrader utility at his site, which includes those other utilities such as gunzip, unzip it with subfolders, then get cygwin1 here and unzip it in the same directory as upgrader-cygwin.exe and run it from there.
