One way to do that (if you really want to re-install instead of running cygcheck and just re-install those packages listed as incomplete) is to edit /etc/setup/installed.db so that each package version listed there is "outdated". The next time you run setup it will upgrade everything, which is thre re-install you want.

sed -re 's/( [a-zA-Z].*-.*-)[0-9]+\./\10./' \
 -i.bak /etc/setup/installed.db
