Is there some switch to restore the old behavior here? This change 
breaks how I do installs of cygwin and keep it up-to-date. I have a very 
simple script that invokes setup.exe with the following command-line 
parameters:
--site ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/lang/cygwin --root c:\cygwin --quiet-mode 
--no-desktop --local-package-dir c:\temp --packages 
"cppunit,cvs,file,gcc4-g++,gdb,inetutils,libiconv,make,mintty,openssh,gnupg,opengl"

Doing it like this has been nice because setup.exe runs by itself and I 
don't have to remember which extra packages I want. (A next step I want 
to do, but haven't tried yet to accomplish, is to first download the 
packages and use a local package repository so I could do offline 
installations (if I had pre-downloaded the packages).
