I was careful to download all the packages first and watch for errors,
so that wasn't a problem.  Thanks for the tip, though, it's nice to
know I'm not paranoid.

It's up-to-date enough for the critical update tool to not complain,
and I think that's enough but I could be wrong.

It did compile after all that, and it runs reasonably well.  I'm
trying to play with the map chooser and such but I don't have
ImageMagick or geotiff or anything like that installed, so I'll
probably run into snags.  It's a shame that Cygwin packages of that
stuff don't work with our stuff (according to README.win32).
