I used Fergus' script referenced above, with the "safety feature" of
executing "setup.4" independently, as the search and destroy
mechanism.  I like this approach, try before you, er, um, "buy."

I saved the script in the "release/" directory and invoked thusly:

bash ./clean_cygwin.sh

Worked like a champ.  Anyone fearing that changes to setup.exe might
be asked for, forget it.  (-:  (-:

My "release/" directory was trimmed by 301mb, from 1000mb to 699mb!
That's well worth it.

Thanks, Fergus.
