I'm one of the R developers.  I've just noticed that the Cygwin setup 
offers to install R.  In the past, our experience was that Cygwin builds 
didn't pass the tests, so they weren't reliable.

Can someone put me in touch with the Cygwin maintainer of this package, 
so I can find out if these problems have been fixed?

The Cygwin announce list is a pretty good way to figure this out:

I don't suppose one of the failed tests is that sub() does the wrong 
thing?  See http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/136558
