Sounds like you want to just copy the whole tree from c:\cygwin\ (or wherever)
to another machine. Use mount to dump your mount table to a batch file and
run that on the target machine. Viola.

setup.exe will not do what you want since packages available are a moving 
target--there's no way to guarantee certain versions.
