Cygwin is pretty nice, but I think I have a way you can vastly improve Setup.exe.
When people install the Cygwin environment, they have a "compile target" goal in mind. They want to compile a Windows program, or a Palm program, etc. Do you know how frustrating it is to run through the whole Setup.exe process, carefully check the packages to make sure what you need is included... Just to find out you didn't get make.exe?! In Setup.exe, in one of it's dialog windows, why can't you have some kind of "target" checkboxes that will GUARANTEE that the minimum components for your target WILL BE INSTALLED. It needs to be a no-brainer. Sure, it has to be flexible so people can use it for whatever they want..
