http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/setup.html has the relevant info.
I'd be happy to have specific instructions there. IMO this isn't
relevant for the package maintainer instructions at
http://www.cygwin.com/setup.html - and there is already a link to from
there. (I quote: Setup.exe has it's own homepage
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/setup.html. If you are interested
in adding features to setup.exe, or in manually creating a setup.ini
file, you should consult the setup.exe homepage.)

See the homepage.
