Come on, a program like wget is so important, how do you download
stuff? Internet Explorer? Isn't this bloat (50 MB)? The whole
wget package is about 1 MB!

Bloatware...

Yes, of course, however, CPAN is much more reliable. You don't
need all the internet tools anyway, Net::Ftp is already included
in the Cygwin Perl release, so there should be no other tools
needed. Just install some more perl modules to make it more
comfortable for you (in the CPAN shell type: `install LWP' to
install the libwww module and dependencies).

make, binutils and gcc-core (besides the Cygwin base packages):
$ tar xzf Perl-Mudule-1.2.3
$ cd Perl-Mudule-1.2.3/
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
$ make UNINST=1 install
Should be listed in the README:
$ cat /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/perl-5.8.6

CPAN Dependencies:
When building modules you will need Cygwin packages like make,
gcc, binutils, ..., (and additional libraries, depending on the
modules you want to install).
