...the *Dark* side of free (GPL?) software... I guess..

In any case, you could always *grab* their "pacman" manager.. Besides 
being very appealing, it would avoid the long thread [*] on cygwin-apps 
list..

Why what aims to be a "..Linux feeling - on Windows" should have a 
"package manager" (setup.exe :( ) which install deps more o less 
silently... apt-get, yum, pacman, port (on OSX) (and, I sure, others) 
always warn the user about which packages are to be installed..

Unless you adopt a 'true' package manager,  I would not change the 
current behavior of setup.exe..


Ciao,
  Angelo.
