The previous version of Cygwin setup didn't have this limitation, is there
any chance or adding back support for it ?
The main reason I ask is using the above method allows setup to easy manage
installation and uninstallation of any Cygwin binary tarballs, including
external unofficial ones. If the new version still had support for this
method managing bzipped Cygwin binaries would be just as easy, installing
Xfree86 for example would be as simple as downloading Xfree86 binaries and
coping them to setup directory.
