Hi Marcio,

1) do not install cygwin on directories with a space inside
"C:\cygwin" is better the "C:\Program Files\cygwin"

You should be able to just move the directories, without re-installing

2) http://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures

To simplify your need save the attached file as "rebaseall_example.bat"
on "C:\cygwin" and run it.
