Do you mean GNU date, which is a part of GNU coreutils?  The name 'gdate'
is often used so that the GNU utilities can be installed alongside vendor
tools, allowing the choice between GNU and non-GNU.  But since cygwin does
not provide non-GNU vendor tools, you can just use 'date' instead of
'gdate' - I have no reason to complicate my packaging of coreutils just to
add a 'g' prefix.  And since coreutils is a Base package, you already have
'date' installed.
