  If you're happy with building the cygwin dll (and associated utilities) from
source, you could have a go with 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2007-q3/msg00011.html

  Otherwise give it a couple of days to be approved and applied and a new
snapshot generated, and you should be able to extract just the new mkgroup.exe
from the snapshot tarball and use it with your current installation.

    cheers,
