It is not included in the standard cygwin-dist:-/
It is included in findutlis-4.1, which i made because of that fact, 
to be find at:
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Haase_Gerrit/1.1/

There is a binary-version, findutils-4.1-1-cygwin.tar.gz, which includes updatedb,
it installs in /usr, not in /usr/local, so please uninstall old findutils at first,
before installing this 'complete' version. 
Look at the README please for further information, e.g. how to build by yourself, 
feel free to ask on the list.
