You can also download this:

http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/testing/release/mingw-extra/mingw-extra-2.95.3_20011106-2.tar.bz2

and unpack it in the obvious place.  It contains those libraries from 
mingw's gcc package.  You might also want to manually run the 
"postinstall" script.
