This message is a follow up for the sake of completion in this thread.
Since I started out casting doubt on whether setup.exe fetches multiple
packages (and their dependencies) I'd like to confirm that here, setup.exe
is working correctly (it just seemed to hate me on Monday).

I did this in the bash shell:
$ "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/setup-x86_64.exe" -q --download --root
C:\ix\cygwin  --local-package-dir "C:/Users/soren/cygDL.dir" --site
https://cygwin.mirror.constant.com --include-source --packages `cygcheck -e
'perl-pod-*' | sed -n -e 's/\s:.\+//p' | xargs | sed -ne 's/ /,/gp' `

and the setup.log logfile records the following downloads:

Being able to operate setup.exe semi-automatically (without using the
appropriate switch, you have to tap when prompted in the UAC that pops up,
so it's not completely automated) ...being able to do so from a friendly
bash prompt is nice. Very nice.
