I ended up doing just about that.  Deleted the c:\cygwin directory
and re-installed from the previously-downloaded cygwin package, but
i was connected to the net while doing the setup, so maybe (don't
know) cygwin got updated as well.

You're probably right about trying to use KDE under Cygwin.  We
couldn't get it going anyway earlier today.  One of the many 
problems we encountered was that KDE didn't like the fact that my
/home/<user> directory is called "Orrin Winton" (no quotes, with a
blank space between my first and last names).  Cygwin is OK with
it (apparently) but i wouldn't be surprised if many of my various
problems are related to this.  I can't imagine how to go about
changing that.  Add a Windows account that has no blank spaces in it,
and make it the Administrator?  

Make, install, and Xastir download, make, install all went well and
i've verified that Xastir & AGWPE transmit packets.  Now all i have
to do is build a VOX circuit to key the PTT.  I just got a circuit 
diagram & parts list from an infrared astronomer at Mt. Wilson.
(If anyone wants this i can scan it and make it into a jpg.)
Meet all kinds of interesting people in this obsession (i refuse
to call it a 'hobby':  i did this stuff today instead of doing
math homework).
