If I'm not mistaken, I believe the simplest and easiest way to do what
you want to do is to simply edit your local setup.ini to put the packages
you want into the "Base" category.  Everything in "Base" is automatically
installed.  There are other ways to achieve something similar, such as

<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2006-04/msg00039.html>

or

<http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/package-server.html>

But if you just want to do this once, editing the setup.ini file is probably
the easiest thing to do.
