I have manually uploaded empty:

x86{,64}/release/coreutils{,/coreutils-debuginfo}/-coreutils-9.1-1.{,-src}.{hint,tar.xz}

and created !ready files in:

x86{,64}/release/coreutils{,/coreutils-debuginfo}/

which appears to have moved the files to the vault(/Attic) and dropped 
the entries from setup.ini

That seems like a job for a cygport command like remove/vault! ;^>
