OK, doing it that way works.  But if I add setup.ini alongside setup.xz and 
setup.xz.sig, then setup complains about not finding setup.ini.sig.

Also, having to point setup at "mirror" is a major change from the way local 
installs used to work.  I have the following structure:

download directory
   http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f/
   http...
   http...
   mirror

and I have always pointed setup at "download directory" for a local install.  In 
the past, this would then pick up the packages from all the http directories as 
well as from "mirror".  Was it a deliberate change that this no longer works? 
This change is probably what's behind the problem the others in this thread have 
reported.
