Hi!

Am a happy user of cygwin for quite some now.
I love the tool, but I'd like to be able to "clean up" my install a
little.
Currently on my downloads dir there are a zillon sub-dirs with the
names "Like" the different mirrors I used on a certain moment to
download / install from the net different apps and versions and
whatnot.

I guess I could manually traverse the dirs and delete the
all-but-most-recent files on each and every one, and then "create" a
single tree and copy the latest version of every file.. and probably
would mess up setup.ini, and what not... but it'd be a PITA. Is there
a (automated, or planned) way to do it?

Also, I'd like to "reinstall" the Cygwin enviroment I have now on
another PC. Is there any "list" of the packages I have installed, so I
can just copy the download dirs over and run setup to have them
install? (sort like .config files, I guess)

Thanks a lot

    Javier Jarava
