Hi List:

I just got a small suggestion to the setup.exe of cygwin. I feel it could be useful to add a function, which makes it possible to export the package list (that you currently installed or going to install) into a file (txt for example), or at least allow people to copy the characters from setup.exe. This will make a person easily set up a cygwin environment that exactly the same as someone else who shares his package list. You know when developing programs, sometimes it is important to have the same version of compilers or tools. And this could also help to specify which "version" of cygwin you are using.

Best regards,
Xiang Li
