Arg.
No no no.  *Don't* do this, we'll get all kinds of different bug reports.
Please do one of these:

  * windows program/dos box:
    Uzip/untar in the windows root directory.  This will install
    everything under C:/Cygwin/

  * Cygnus tool/bash shell:
    Make sure you have a symlink to /Cygwin:

        ln -sf / /Cygwin

    and then untar in root.

That's all the same, really.
