These three items are easily adressed with the command line options in setup, and by keeping track of the packages you have installed in a little text file. I then make up batch scripts for different install levels so that I can create a Cygwin environment on any machine very quickly. In fact, I keep the "local download" on a USB stick so that I don't even need an internet connection to install Cygwin....
