Using setup.exe for this task makes me think that people believe
setup.exe is doing something mysterious.  It really isn't.  Even if you
wanted to go to the effort of unpacking tar.bz2 files you could still do
it all with bash, tar, and mount, avoiding setup.exe entirely.

Except that setup.exe is "bootstrapping" the install all by itself
and managing package dependencies.
