When I downloaded bitkeeper, it installed a stripped-down (no clue whether
it was the most recent) version of cygwin on top of the version I had
already installed.

Since, I get the following error when loading tcsh:

<<tcsh: No entry for terminal type "cygwin"

tcsh: using dumb terminal settings.>>

or lynx no longer runs and says:

<<Error opening terminal: cygwin.>>

Re-installing cygwin's tcsh wouldn't fix it.

Any hints?

Many thanks in advance Ralf (hauser@acm.org)

I thought bitkeeper was proprietary. Whats the deal with them installing
cygwin?

I installed bitkeeper a while ago.  They seem to be circumventing the GPL
nicely for the most part.  The one exception that I could see was that they
distribute patch.exe without the corresponding binary AFAICT.

IIRC, their installation actually runs a cygwin install.  Kinda cheesy, I
think, but apparently not illegal.
