I think I found a bug in the latest version of grep in Cygwin. I use "grep -P" frequently to search for files using Perl-compatible regular expressions. I updated Cygwin a couple of days ago, and suddenly found the -P and --perl-regexp options (equivalent) didn't work. When you try to use -P, it says "-P option not supported."
I messed around with options, installed and uninstalled pcre and Perl, and finally went back from grep 2.5.1a-1 to the previous version, 2.5.1. That fixed it, leaving me to assume something in 2.5.1a-1 is broken, with respect to the perl-compatible options. Cheers!
