Hi, I'm the cygwin setup maintainer. Have they said what's wrong? That
you need to run a shell script after installing? That cygwin1.dll
changed ntsec defaults and broke many half-setup sites?

Urggle. PLEASE DON'T.=20

Let me be more clear: Please only install into the cygwin directories
using the cygwin setup.exe codebase. I'm happy for you to fork the
setup.exe code (and then track the changes via CVS). Heck, you could
even have a branch in the setup CVS to do that in if needed. So you
could provide a different UI and address whatever unspecified issues
your users have.=20
