Are signatures available for the setup program, or for the packages it downloads? RPM uses GPG signatures, but I can't find anything comparable for the Cygwin binaries. Even just a list of hashes would be worthwhile (ideally vended from a secure Cygwin/Redhat web page) to verify that a mirror (or download) hasn't been corrupted. Real PGP signatures would be better. I can live without tool support -- I can do the verifications manually, but only if I can find the signatures :-).
I saw a note back in December (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00950.html) that touched on this, but I couldn't find any followup.
