Is there a cygwin port for this yast which will install cygwin packages?  I
should point out that some of the controlls in setup.exe work.  The initial
buttons for selecting install from internet, the next and back buttons, the
finnish button.  It's really the main points of setup.exe that don't work.  The
button which toggles all and the other categories and the multi-state toggles
for individual packages as well as the listview of packages itself.  The final
checkboxes for create icon on desktop and create icon on startmenu do not obtain
focus when hitting the tab key.
