It may have been related to a problem with 'upset' late last week.  I
just tried it now using ftp://mirrors.xmission.com/cygwin and
http://sources-redhat.mirror.redwire.net/cygwin and had no trouble
getting version 2.2.6.a-1.  After the install, I have '/usr/bin/libtoolize'.
If you continue to see problems with 'setup.exe', report back with the
process you went through and the problems you're seeing.
