>cygwin-setup is as good a name as setup, IMHO. Because Windows is suspicious of an executable with "setup" et al in its name, I'd suggest something with an name lacking problematic strings, e.g., "getcygwin.exe" or "not-rpm.exe". :-) Sorry I am not capable of contributing more than that. - Barry Disclaimer: Statements made herein are not made on behalf of NIAID.
