The biggest question: why do myself and everyone else in my software development group that I manage (as well as everyone else with whom I've spoken over the years regarding cygwin) find cygwin's setup.exe so perplexing?

One confusing thing that could be improved is to clearly label the
radio buttons as "Default Action:" and to change "Curr" to be something
like "Update" or "Latest".  The very non-standard way that these
buttons interact with the list is confusing and every little bit of
help will help.  A more standard way would be a selection-action
interface.
