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.
