Unfortunately this fix is entirely dependent on the Cygwin mirrors chosen.  If the mirror still has a copy of the 6.x version of xorg-x11-devel then you'll be ok.  If not, there's no way to get around the bug.  I tried this same fix for a full weekend a couple weeks ago but I couldn't find a mirror that would let me go that far back with the versions.
