Please don't flame me: I know these will be obsolete as soon as they are downloaded, but setup.exe will make it so simple to upgrade them that it's not TOO bad. OTOH this is a big win for people that, for various reasons, cannot access the internet at all times (like a lot of our developers that are not on a connected network). Currently I have to download pieces manually and I'm sure it's VERY obsolete (as I have NO WAY to know if something has changed). Allowing just to start "setup" once a week and pick the updates if any would be a lot more convenient and help to keep the local docs quite up-to-date. Best regards, and thanks for the excellent tool that is cygwin.
