You will not miss any package dependencies using 'setup.exe' unless
you de-select any dependent packages that 'setup.exe' selects for you
when you choose packages you want. As for documentation on setting
up Cygwin's 'cron', you'll find that in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron.README.
Use this information exclusively for configuring a working 'cron' on
Cygwin if you want support from this list on your installation.
