Fair enough. I don't think I've encountered any scripts that modify the
system in my use of cygwin, so I didn't think of it. You're correct,
"mostly portable" is more accurate.

I wouldn't be so sure, as some package installation scripts do modify the
actual system, which is not contained within the Cygwin installation tree.
But mostly it is indeed portable.
You can simply copy the installation folder
If you think that didn't occur to me, then please read my original message
