[Michel LaBarre] 

Peter, thanks for reminding me of the Time Machine.  I had heard of it but
never had occasion to use it.

If I understand the "dead simple instructions" correctly, to install the
latest XP-compatible 64-bit Cygwin for example, I would run (on an XP
system):

  setup-x86_64-2.874.exe
http://ctm.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/64bit/2016/08/3
0/104235 -X

and all the correct packages would be presented in the setup GUI and fetched
from your archive.

And I could re-run the same command to install additional packages.

If that is the correct, perhaps in the case of iconic last-versions
(XP,Win7,...), you might explicitly list "deader simpler instructions" with
the actual setup invocations referring to the correct archives. 

(Thanks in advance - the time machine is huge service.)
