Subject:	Maintaining Non-Cygwin Packages???

Hi,

I have a number of packages I would like to create and provide to my 
users that I don't feel would be that useful to the whole cygwin 
community.  The users of my web site however would find the convenience 
of an installable package much easier than instructions on how to build 
the sources.  Two questions..

1.  Is it possible to have setup.exe install packages outside of the 
list of official packages?

2.  If the above is not possible..  what would people suggest as an 
alternative?

The packages are cross compilers and environment for developing on the 
Playstation2.  I currently have long tutorials about how to patch and 
build the compilers, but would like to provide an easier solution.  I 
have found some instructions on creating patch files and building source 
and binary releases for cygwin through the FAQ.. and it looks like 
something I could do. :)

Thanks,
David.
