When given a list of Cygwin package names, the program downloads them and their dependencies, and regenerates a 'setup.ini' file together with a copy of 'setup.exe'.

Thanks, this is a nice contribution to the project.

Not sure if the Cygwin webmasters would be interested in linking to your
project.  I think the usual way to spread the word about external Cygwin-related
projects is just through the mailing lists.  Your best bet is to regularly
announce new versions here, so people can find mention of it in the archives.

Andrew.
