Just change it in setup next time you run it. If you want to keep all
the cached data, just copy the directories that look like ftp%3f.... and
their contents to whereever your new local package dir will be. BTW: the
default is the dir you run setup from, so you must have created
c:\cygwin, copied setup there, and then run it...right?

Mmmm. I'll think about this. I don't want to interfere with users using
mirroring tools.
