Well, then your installation was from an out of date mirror. 
XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-20 was released on October 17th, and there have been 
20 versions released since then with major changes:

Please rerun Cygwin's setup.exe and let it update your distribution for 
you.  A known-good mirror is mirrors.kernel.org.

By the way, could you report the mirror that you used?  Somebody should 
check it for trouble.

Hope that helps,

Harold
