Yep, and the answer is: 'best of luck', combined with 'you're on your
own', and 'patches appreciated'.

'Should be'. Not to be nasty, but here's how open source works:
I scratch my itchs, and occasionally those I'm curious about.... Unless
one of the following occurs:
* I want to install cygwin on a TS/AS server.
* Someone hands me a (small) bucket of money.
* Someone contributes a reasonable quality patch for TS/AS support to
setup.exe.
... setup won't 'automatically' support the TS/AS requirements.
That said, running change user /install before you run setup, and change
user /execute after installing should work for an 'all users' install of
cygwin.
Cheers,
Rob
