I'm thinking about doing work on GRASS 5.1, but need a stable version to do
regular work with. Is it possible to have GRASS 5.0.x and GRASS 5.1.x on the
same machine (cygwin)?

I know nothing about GRASS/CYGWIN, on Linux there is no problem,
some notes:
- you can run 5.0 and 5.1 at the same time (current region (WIND)
is shared so run modules in both at the same time may be problem)
- XDRIVER is modified, some modules (d.what.*) are not backward/forward
compatible. Unfortunately management of XDRIVERs is not separated,
you must not select XDRIVER started by other version.
Correct:
grass50: d.mon start=x0; d.mon select=x0
grass51: d.mon start=x1; d.mon select=x1
Wrong:
grass50: d.mon start=x0
grass51: d.mon select=x0
- you can run 5.0 modules from 5.1 shell if PATH and GISBASE
is set to 5.0, I use script 'g50':
export PATH=/yourpath/grass/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin:$PATH;
export GISBASE=/yourpath/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu;
$*
and run 5.0 modules:
g50 r.buffer
