Actually, I think this is a neat idea.  I tried to do something like it 
for personal use about 18 months ago -- I wanted a one-time snapshot of 
the cygwin-1.3.x baseline just prior to the 1.5.x transition.

But I waited too long (e.g. after packages which required 1.5.x had 
"polluted" the server), and couldn't untangle "what was old/what was 
new" well enough for my taste.  So I gave up.

Your mechanism is much better.  I, too, hope you don't regret it. :-)
