What you need is the GNU C++ compiler (g++).  Search the Cygwin packages
for 'g++' on the package search page at <http://cygwin.com/packages/>.
Remember, the search string is a full regular expression, so '+'s need to
be escaped with '\'s.  It's also helpful to prepend "bin/" to the
executable name.

See also <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_2.html#SEC13>.

All of the mirrors on the official mirror list[*] should contain the
necessary packages.
