Should we still be using the -g (--upgrade-also) flag on setup?

Perhaps you need to provide the -g (--upgrade-also) flag to cygwin's setup.

Due to setup terribleness, without this flag, it will install the
requested packages, and any missing dependencies of them, but not
upgrade any of the dependencies which are already installed to the
current (and perhaps needed) version...
