Yes. Use the packages they provide or build from source.

Better yet, don't use Cygwin.

Nothing wrong with Cygwin. Unless you want decent performance, or
non-weird behaviour, or being able to run non-cygwin console programs
with doskey command completion, or...

Hmm.

Oh.

That aside, I keep it around on my work box for the zero-effort
installation of random crap^H^Heature comforts. Like bash for a shell
with non-stupid tab completion, and locate, which I couldn't live
without and couldn't get to work on Windows in any non-Cygwin variant.

I just updated CygWin this afternoon and it is now carrying Ruby 1.8.5.
So there's little need to build from source unless you're into doing
that. :)
