If you aren't using setup.exe yet, it's time to make the move.  Check the 
archives for July 2002 for several threads on this issue.   I was looking to 
be sure the date on your e-mail wasn't 2001.
AFAIK the only part which doesn't install "out of the box" when you click the 
Exp and View options is the binutils alignment.  For that, you install 
source, edit the ALIGN parameter in bfd/coff-i386.c, and rebuild.  I note 
that it has been several weeks since the cygwin gcc-3.2 has been updated:

cygwin/release> ls -l gcc
total 9174
-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root      9393923 Sep  9 23:46 gcc-3.2-1.tar.bz2

I've forgotten how long ago the cygwin binutils began to support SSE, but I'm 
not certain if that is your question.
