The setup program allows to selectively download the single packages.  You
only need cygwin-x.x.x.tar.gz where x.x.x stands for the version number,
for example:

ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/latest/cygwin/cygwin-1.1.8-2.tar.gz

or from any other mirror site.  

If you have already installed cygwin, the dll is probably in the /bin
directory of the cygwin installation (you specified it after starting the
installation).  If you only downloaded the packed files, look for the one
starting with cygwin and unpack it.
