Hello!
Can someone give me precise instructions on how to install Cygwin 3.5
(setup.exe with Testing+Sync checkboxes selected) from the Windows
command line? If I try, I only get Cygwin 3.4.

What have you tried?
For a fresh install, this should just be a question of supplying the
'--allow-test-packages' option (which is directly equivalent to the
'Test' checkbox)
The way that 'Keep'/'Best'/'Sync' choices map onto command line options
is unfortunately complex (due to historical terribleness...), but I
think it's something like this:
If '--force-current' option is specified, this is equivalent to 'Sync'
(all packages will use the version from the package repository,
downgrading if needed)
Otherwise, if '--upgrade-also' is specified, or no packages are added or
removed by the command-line options, this is equivalent to 'Best' (use
the 'best' available version of all packages)
Otherwise it's equivalent to 'Keep' (don't change the version of any
already installed package).
