I found the problem.  

 shell'c:\cygwin\usr\bin\unzip'

fails, even though 'type unzip' returns /usr/bin/unzip.  I thought
c:/cygwin/usr/bin was the Windows version of /usr/bin, but I must be
wrong.  When I get a moment, I'll have to learn the cygwin directory
structure better.

If I simply put "unzip" (no quotes) as the J location for Windows unzip,
it works.  

So, for people who have cygwin, just enter unzip for the unzip command.

I'm now installing various packages, and it looks quite nice!  

You show SFL as coming from iMatrix; if I can read their Web site
correctly, it should be iMatix.  The SFL Web page is
http://www.imatix.com/html/sfl/.  

Here's a suggestion: what if you add a column in the package manager (or
an entry in the description for each package) giving the approximate
size of the package?  

Thanks for suggesting the diagnostic approach that worked!
