Now what package is that in? ;-)
Seriously, I think I've found the problem - I had an environment variable
RUBYOPT=-rubygems
Unsetting the variable seems to fix the problem. Apparently, I'd installed
a non-Cygwin version of Ruby (which I didn't even remember doing), and this
interferes with the Cygwin version.
