Well ... I did have some doubts as to whether it was installed correctly, 
though everything seemed fine apart from the absence of "gcc", etc.
However, I don't have a /usr/bin folder. And no /etc/alternatives either.

bash-3.2# sh /bin/set-gcc-default-4.sh
/bin/set-gcc-default-4.sh: line 7: /usr/sbin/alternatives: No such file or 
directory
/bin/set-gcc-default-4.sh: line 7: /usr/sbin/alternatives: No such file or 
directory
/bin/set-gcc-default-4.sh: line 7: /usr/sbin/alternatives: No such file or 
directory
/bin/set-gcc-default-4.sh: line 7: /usr/sbin/alternatives: No such file or 
directory

I'll wipe the current Cygwin installation and do it again (hopefully I can 
get it done right next time :-)

Everything I've tried seems to be working quite well, but there's bound to 
be ramifications down the track if I don't fix it up properly.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Rob
