Here are a couple of suggestions for making the cygwin.com website more 
helpful.

1) Include the current version number of setup.exe on the front page. 
Otherwise, there is no way for the infrequent visitor to the website to 
know if setup.exe has been updated other than to re-download and run it.

2) Include in the FAQ (or somewhere) a section on "How to Safely Update the 
Cygwin dll". Probably just "shut down all cygwin apps, including daemons", 
but it would be useful to know for sure.

3) Include or link those instructions in announcements of new Cygwin dll 
releases.

Do these make sense?

Jeremy
