Well, that would explain the problem. The vim you're using is
probably the tiny or small version. I just ran a small version and
confirmed that the comments option is not supported.
The Cygwin base install comes with only vim-minimal. You'll just
need to install the vim package. It's currently at 8.0.329.
VIM - Vi IMproved 8.0 (2016 Sep 12, compiled Feb 15 2017 20:45:09)
Included patches: 1-329

Huge version without GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):
You'll want the vim-common package, too. I don't remember whether
or not it gets installed automatically when you install vim.
There's also a vim-doc package, but I don't have that one installed
and yet I have all the documentation available. I don't know what's
going on there. It wouldn't hurt to install vim-doc, too, though.

I went to the cygwin installer. I have vim-minimal and vim-common. I
don't seem to be offered any other options for vim.
Then I went to the vim website, downloaded and installed vim80. But it
appears I got only a GUI vim (gvim), not a command-line vim.

On Beta, we'd have earrings for that. You could buy them in any jewelry store.
