That would be a good idea, IMO.

And this wouldn't. It doesn't link to the Cygwin DLL snapshots for the
same reason -- those aren't ready for most people to try. People who are
willing to try the latest snapshot version, warts and all, and are
prepared to properly report bugs can easily Google for "cygwin setup
snapshots" and get there.
That said, the latest release version of setup.exe is encoded in setup.ini
on any up-to-date mirror. Simply run your old copy, and it'll warn you if
a newer version of setup.exe is available -- no need for the download
dance.
