I do not see any way we can see details of dependencies before committing
to an install?

For example, if I want to install Cygwin Octave, I can click on several
packages.  When I  continue to install, I have a page of dependencies,
like a lot of libs,that should also be installed.  That would be OK if
I could accept these, but before committing to an install, go back and
at least see the sizes of these dependencies.

One good reason is if I want to uninstall Octave, I am then stuck with
a lot of those dependencies that are not purged.  I do not know if there
is anything like a "purge" tool for Cygwin?
