Is there some reason why you won't just run cygcheck.exe while setup is
hung?  Have you tried it?  AFAIK, cygcheck should be operational by the
time setup has gotten to installing X.  It really has to be operational
since cygcheck.exe comes along with the Cygwin DLL.

Also, you could even run, oh I don't know, it's just a pretty drastic
suggestion, but you *could* run "ps -ef".
