If you have a Cygwin installation prepared, just call `cygcheck -c'. This will give you a list of all packages you have installed. Just grab all the source tar archives of these packages and deliver them with your binaries. If you look on the mirrors which provide Cygwin packages, you'll see that each package foo-3.4.5-2.tar.bz2 is accompanied by a package foo-3.4.5-2-src.tar.bz2 These are the source tar archives. If you provide the binaries, you'll have to collect all corresponding source packages and give them to your customer, too. You don't have to fetch them manually from a mirror, you can just use the Cygwin setup tool, with which you have created your Cygwin installation. In the package selection dialog, there's a column "src?". If you check the checkbuttons in this column, setup will download all source packages on your machine into the /usr/src directory.
