Not as much silly as misguided. The mapping from long filenames to short filenames happens at the Windows level -- there is no way for a program to predict what short name a particular long name will map to. Thus, there is no way to track the short names back to the long names, sorry. One wild idea: you could try matching the MD5 sums of the bz2 files to the contents of setup.ini... Given that the short names do share the first 6 characters with the long names, this shouldn't be too time-consuming. But, as Larry said already, <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI>, and it probably won't be anyone but you.
