Actually, if you searched the cygwin mailing list for this issue 
(which is the recommended procedure before posting, please 
read http://cygwin.com/lists.html for more information) you would 
have noticed this has been hashed over many many times.  Most
recently around May 7/8.

You will also see that all of your assumptions have been brought
up before and answered as to why they are not correct.

I'll even make your job a little bit easier and tell you to
refine your search of the mailing lists with 'fixed size setup'.

The "bug" could be easily fixed by the programmer who is working on setup.exe 
in no time at all. Probably it's just a checkbox in the Visual C++ resource 
editor. 

Sorry, I don't have any development kit or compiler installed on my 
windows system. I'just wanted to use cygwin and to point you to
a usability problem.

I guess, you deliberately built in these pesky "bugs" to get people
to work on the source :-)
