There's none!
This is not really a solution to my problem, which is how do I run multiple cygwin versions simultaneously.

Kill all cygwin processes (via net stop or psservice and then via taskman or pskill),
backup the current cygwin1.dll and rename the new (snapshot) cygwin dll to cygwin1.dll,
start the autostarting cygwin processes again (ipc-daemon2, cron, ...),
test it.
