I haven't heard about this before. 

Another script based solution could be found under 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/kde-cygwin/tools/cygsetup/. 

In our company we uses this script for about one year without any major 
problems (except the dll in use problem). 

If wished I can provide a setup confirm package.
