Repository I can probably understand ;-) but exactly what does "try 
installing your pkg" mean? Do I just drop it in the repository? How is 
the setup.ini generated so it includes my package? Is a local temporary 
dir (that you get when you install Cygwin) like a repository or do I 
need to navigate to a real FTP mirror to investigate? More questions 
than answers...
