Thanks for the tip. I found out
there was a character in my $PATH that the installer didn't like. I
ended up redefining $PATH in setup.sh instead of appending to it in order
to get rid of some unrelated Windows' paths. I had put in something
already to handle the spaces by substituting and escape character, but
the installer/make/w/e did not like "(". There are quite
a few on my 64 bit machine since Windows creates a Program Files (x86)
folder.

I haven't tried building ROS under Cygwin, but the first step would be
getting more information on the failure to build gtest:
