This is the Cygwin project.  There is only one source for packages.  If
other projects are using setup.exe and providing their own packages,
that's great but please don't ask us to try to support other people's
efforts.

Maybe either you or the Cygnome2 project should provide patches to setup
to implement your ideas.  This really isn't an issue for us but we'll
gladly consider changes to setup.exe.
