There used to be a very handy cygwin program called expand for expanding tabs

Now I cannot find it on the nice installation GUI (setup_x86_64.exe).
$ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/expand.exe
coreutils-8.15-3

Probably out of date, but I'd guess is still available.

I tried searching the archives for it but there were too many hits for other topics 
("expand" is a common word, apparently).

Has this been superseded by a better program?
Has it been taken away? I hope not!

How can I get a command line interface for expanding tabs into spaces that I 
can easily use from VI?
Thanks
