Hmm. Parallels abound. If you can't find it in any package (using the
package search at http://cygwin.com/packages/) then a quick search of
the setup source is certainly in order. If you can't find something in
those locations or if what you see doesn't make sense, then a mailing
list archive search is also your friend. Most setup.exe technical
discussion happens in the cygwin-apps mailing list.
