'setup.exe' will install a default set of apps that's considered a "good
base".  You don't need to select any additional apps beyond that to have
a working Cygwin environment.  But there is no "recommended" set of apps
beyond that.  It depends on your needs.  For instance, developers may
want one or more selections from the "Devel" category, X enthusiasts may
want some selections from the "X11" category, etc.
