The simple answer is that before setup can be made resizable, an
architecture for controlling how each control on each page of the wizard
resizes with the window. This is a substantial amount of work.

Also: setup development discussions happen on cygwin-apps AT cygwin DOT com.

See http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/.

Note that current setup HEAD is to some extent in a state of disrepair. The
link above and the setup sources haven't been updated since gcc3 became the
primary compiler for Cygwin. As a result, patches are required to build with
either of the current Cygwin releases of gcc and gcc2. See recent
cygwin-apps archives fot details.

Also, there are some bugs in HEAD which have occurred since the last
release.

Max.
