Thanks Rance and Peter for your replies. I did not know about
setup-legacy.exe, so when I downloaded this and ran it it did exactly
what I needed it to. I have now added those packages to my permanent
archive, so this shouldn't be a problem again.

Now I have a test server running Cygwin 1.5, it's time to test the
upgrade path to Cygwin 1.7 and compatibility with the rest of my
environment (which for interest we use to build and test FPGAs...)

Thanks again,
