The idea was that you have a fairly complete POSIX environment with as small a footprint as possible, then use that to bootstrap a more conventionally styled Cygwin install. > In that sense, setup.exe is already bootstrapped: it has everything > within itself to be able to replace itself. I do like the concept of a self-contained executable, but teaching setup.exe new tricks is likely a larger effort than adding a script here and there to an install system.
