I'm not sure of the answers to your questions, but I do know what I did. 
I grabbed install.exe from the Cygwin web site and executed it.  I then 
selected default options and went with the ufl.edu ftp site.  I clicked 
"Default" to change it to "Install" for the entire tree, then proceeded to 
download.  I ended up with about 550 MB of downloads and about 2 GB in 
c:\cygwin.

I didn't compile anything, but I'm not sure what Cygwin did on its own.

When I execute 'octave', I see this:

GNU Octave, version 2.1.71 (i686-pc-cygwin).

I hope that helps.  Let me know if I can do more to clarify what I'm 
working with here.  If you give me some instructions on what to type, I 
can do it and then tell you what comes back at me.

Mike
