? I'd like it... If there is general interest in them I may attempt to
get the scripts added to cygutils. I might write a wrapper around them
and add some similar functions. Or did I misunderstand your question?
(If you're asking me to duplicate the dependency-tracking logic from

I think that may be a good idea. It should then however store
setup.inis for all selected mirrors, not just the one.
A symlink is not a good idea, IMO, as reading a new ini from internet
may fail (If you refuse going online (dial-up) setup will empty all
inis it attenpts to download.) Also people apparently tend to download
into a temp-dir, install and then delete the local files.
