A reinstall of Cygwin avoids some of these little clean-up tasks that come from just copying over a previous installation.
Would one be able to re-execute the post install scripts to manage it?
Well, in the case of the '/etc/passwd' and '/etc/group' files, not entirely. 000-cygwin-post-install.sh will create these files but only if they don't exist already.
