Coincidentally enough, I just updated this page today.  I got rid of the
mention of bootstrap.zip since it was out of date.  I also updated the
README in the cygwin download directory, removing some obsolete words
and pointing at the above URL if you want to avoid setup.exe.

The README isn't completely up-to-date now but it is a little better.  I
don't know how many people actually read this README.  Apparently not
very many or we would have had complaints about some of the obsolete
info.
