Some weeks ago, I seconded a report that Cygwin wasn't releasing
handles, causing some machines to thrash to death and the installation
to fail.

I can report that the problem is slightly improved in the current
release of setup, but I think there are still some leaks as it is
currently sitting at 93% installation complete (and has been for a long
time, in /etc/postinstall/xorg-x11-fcyr.sh).

Current memory use by setup is 153MB, CPU usage 96%.

It would be really good if setup.log could be written incrementally. 
It would make setup crashes more debuggable, and should use less memory,
too.
