Sure. You wanted to know what setup.exe does. The most accurate list is

This can be done via setup.exe as well.

Make a package, you could even contribute it back to cygwin. See
http://www.cygwin.com/setup.html. Also see the cygwin-apps archives.

Which can be done via a extra setup.ini and a local webserver.

And you have been answered. The details are also in this lists archives.
