Some random suggestions...

I am sure this has been suggested before, but I think it would be an
'added convenience' if there were a link to the creating setup.exe
made in the start menu next to the "bash shell" link.  I created one
and have found it to be very useful.  It might be a good addition.

Other random ramblings.
Also nice would be a command line tool similar to apt-get to install
"as if from setup.exe" package x or y and its dependencies (exists?).
Then you could run a command on it like 'update all my current
packages!' from the command line or what not.  Perhaps  setup.exe
could do the same thing. But anyway just some thoughts. Thanks for
cygwin!
