Ah, I see - thank you. I hadn't imagined it could be that simple! Using
it to assess what see package groups besides GNOME etc. need to be
included in the regexps, it looks like just db, libggi, and mingw - does
that seem right?
: [luke AT calixa] .../cygwin-rc; cat setup.ini | sed -e '/^install: /!d'
-e '/\/_obsolete\//d' -e 's,^install: release/,,' -e 's,/[^/]*$,,' -e
's,^GNOME/,,' -e 's,^KDE/,,' -e 's,^X\.Org/,,' -e 's,^X11/,,' | tr / ' '
| sort -u | grep ' .* '

And you've also improved my sed knowledge - I'd never noticed the
/regexp/! construct before!
