download.rockbox.org is providing a version of setup.ini but this file
has nothing to do with the Cygwin project.  I don't know how they are
instructing you to do things but installing a base 1.5 installation via
setup-legacy.exe and then using the regular setup.exe to install their
stuff would probably work.

If it doesn't work then *ask them* what to do.  This is cygwin.com
not rockbox.org.
