I forgot to mention that I believe you have to check the "Exp" box at
the top.  It is far from optimal UI to have to do this, though, IMO.

So, yeah, if you want to say that's a bug, I'm inclined to agree.

But, anyway, cygcheck says I have the latest version, along with a
handful of other beta packages that setup.exe was kind enough to install
for me.
