Glad to hear it.  The question though is:   why did this happen?
When you regenerate the SRILMversion.h file it should run the commands:

	read version < /home/anstolck/srilm/RELEASE; echo "#define SRILM_RELEASE \"$version\"" > SRILMversion.h
	sed -f /home/anstolck/srilm/sbin/stringify-copyright /home/anstolck/srilm/Copyright >> SRILMversion.h

which, under a proper Cygwin installation, should produce the correct output.
(The first command is the one that appearently isn't working in your case.)

So you might want to experiment with you PATH and other environment settings, and let us know if you find a fix.
