Hmm, I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear: all the fixes for installation
under cygwin and XP have been merged. If you download
http://win-builds.org/stable/win-builds-bundle-1.3.0.zip and use its
files, you should have nothing to do besides running
"msys-cygwin-install.sh".

You've actually made me notice an issue with the cygwin/msys
installer: it doesn't copy bsdtar and wget to bin/ (and liblzma). This
prevents doing updates later on without the installer around.
It's a minor inconvenience and not the issue you currently have though;
for yours, you really only need the latest installer package.
