The separate source packages should be relatively easy.  They could
just be another package, right?  So you'd see something like:

cygwin-1.3.3-1
cygwin-1.3.3-1-src

I guess you could have a separate "Source" category, too, although
that would complicate setup.ini parsing a bit.

You could also have something like a "View Source" button which toggles
whether source was selected or not although that might just be too
many buttons...
