I found out that there is a broken package in the cygwin distribution: "coreutils-5.3.0-8 is currently broken and makes it through to the mirrors, see http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2005-07/msg00171.html, try to fetch 5.3.0-7 or wait until it is fixed, please." (from the cygwin ml archive)
Going back to 5.3.0-7 solved one part of the probelem (still no home directory created). But how do I get lilypond to find the feta font?
