This is a generic Cygwin problem, not related to XFree86. The problem is that cygpath hangs when called from a shell launched by setup.exe. This problem has been reported many times before. It started happening about a month or two ago. For a more detailed description, see my post below:

Nobody seems interested in fixing this, myself included, so it will most likely remain broken.

This is probably something that you already know, but in case you don't there are some problems in XFree86-bin-icons.sh. On my XP, it hangs. I went through various permutations, e.g. deleting the scripts from /etc/postinstall, /etc/preremove and /usr/X11R6/bin and reinstalling stuff without finding anything that works (short of completely removing this package). For reference, the date on the script is 9/29/2003.
