The standard way to do this would be to write a script that wgets (or

Firefox and Adobe do it with a separate updater program.
I'm not recommending that for Cygwin, but setup.exe could be its own
updater. It could make a copy of its own executable to a temp location,
and launch that with a flag that makes it go fetch and replace the
non-temp copy and relaunch it.
