I noticed a couple of small potential gotchas: the generated batch file has 
some of the filenames repeated.  Also, in my installation there is one file 
name with spaces:

e:\cygwin\usr\share\lcms\profiles\sRGB Color Space Profile.icm

so here is a version modified slightly to remove duplicate filenames and to 
handle filenames with spaces.

    #!/bin/bash
    cut -f1 -d' ' < /etc/setup/installed.db | grep -v INSTALLED.DB | \
    xargs --delim='\n' cygcheck -l | xargs --delim='\n' cygpath -w  | \
    sed -e 's/\(.*\)/del "\1"/g' | sort -u > remove-all-cyg-files.bat
