Slight complication with using a shell script that wipes out cygwin files:
the shell /is/ a cygwin file.

Yep. It's in /etc/setup/installed.db. Here's a shell script to generate a
dos batch file to remove all your cygwin files.
#!/bin/bash
cut -f1 -d' ' < /etc/setup/installed.db | grep -v INSTALLED.DB \
| xargs cygcheck -l | xargs cygpath -w | sed -e 's/^/del /g' \
> remove-all-cyg-files.bat
This doesn't take care of the left-over directories. Running the list
through dirname sort uniq xargs cygpath and sed 's/^/rd /g'
>another-batch-file.bat is left as an exercise for the reader.
