You start by discussing setup.exe development where you've already sent
email - the cygwin-apps mailing list.

As far as the compilation errors are concerned, weren't you going to try
to get the patches working?  It seems like you need to fix the
compilation errors if you want to help.  If you can't fix compilation
problems then it isn't clear how you are going to help building and
testing setup, considering that you are trying to add new functionality.

But this really should be continued in the cygwin-apps mailing list.
