Only if you don't already have a cygwin AT cygwin DOT com key saved:
  if [ $(gpg --list-keys | grep -c 'cygwin AT cygwin DOT com') != 1 ]
  then
    gpg --import ${DESTINATION}/pubring.asc
  fi

altho checking for exactly one instance instead of an instance seems doubtful.

On the other hand, I didn't even know setupXXX.exe was signed so I
haven't been checking at all :(

It'd be nice if someone could add a signature + public key link on the
front page instead of having to click thru the "fresh install" or
"update" link to find out there's signatures available.
