setup using IE to do its downloading is a bad idea. But, that got me 
thinking, so allow me a crazy thought. AFAIK, Cygwin's setup can't use a 
HTTPS mirror [1]. Given the desire to move more and more web traffic 
onto HTTPS, would an option to download through IE be a cheap way to add 
HTTPS support to setup?

Dave.

(which has a HTTP equivalent, I know...)
