I am using cygwin on a window 8 machine. When I type
$ xmllint --format something.xml
It says: -bash: xmllint: command not found

OTHER TIPS
You're better of just installing all of CygWin, not just the default packages. Then you don't have to worry about possibly missing programs.
Disk space is cheap, having to waste time figuring out what package contains what programs is not :-)
If you must pick and choose, you can search for the executable here. Based on a cursory search, it's available in Libs/libxml2
