If you do the old standard,
mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
mkgroup -l > /etc/group
will that take care of it, or would I need to delete what is in those
directories now first?
The location of the cygwin directory will be the same. Is there a list
of the windows registry entries for cygwin? I will not want to re-import
the entire regisrry, so it would be nice to be able to make up a little
batch file that would just insert the entries related to cygwin.

plop it back in when I finished the O/S reinstall, there will be things

will need updating. 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.
