I'm just writing a cmdline tool in perl for faster setup for the

I actually wrote one of these years ago. It's checked in here:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cygupdate/?cvsroot=cygwin-apps
For completeness:
Just the two modules Cygwin::Setup and Cygwin::Setup::ByDir are missing.
But I have them somewhere from upset. But upset is no more, there's
genini now.
BTW: Just for those modules we renamed the perl archlib recently
to i686-cygwin. So we will have no nameclash in the future.
It is fairly full-featured, I think. I don't remember if the dependency
handling works right or not. I think it can install cygwin but not
perl.
Even the interactive prompt is there.
I use it to install packages when I'm about to release so I know it at
least kinda works.
It may have problems with cygwin-1.7.0 since it has no logic for finding
the cygwin root.
I have never released this because I didn't want to deal with the
support issues but if someone else wants to take it over, I'd be happy
to relinquish it.
Hmm. I'll check if I like it or if I like mine more. :)
