Ech, <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#TOFU> .  Reformatted.

You almost certainly *did* have cpp installed.

On Ubuntu, for instance -

$ dpkg -S `which xrdb`
x11-xserver-utils: /usr/bin/xrdb

$ apt-cache show x11-xserver-utils | grep Depends
Depends: cpp, libc6 (>= 2.7-1), libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libsm6,
libx11-6, libxau6, libxaw7, libxext6, libxi6, libxmu6, libxmuu1,
libxrandr2 (>= 2:1.2.0), libxrender1, libxt6, libxtrap6,
libxxf86misc1, libxxf86vm1
Pre-Depends: x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0)

This smells like a packaging bug to me, but with no X maintainer it's
not one that's likely to be fixed, I suppose.

oops .. so all i need to do is look for the package called "cpp" in setup.exe and install that?
