Can I suggest that the use of --prefix be documented? I mistakenly
used --prefix=/usr and trashed my system a month or so ago - I just
realised I never suggested it be documented. Something along the lines
of

"Don't use a --prefix that refers to the final destination. Use
a --prefix like "/usr/src/installcygwin" and from there take the files
to your actual working directories."
