Subject: Which snapshot file should I use?

Greetings,

I see the following files on the snapshot page:
winsup-src-*.tar.bz2   	sources in the winsup directory
cygwin1-*.dll.bz2   	stripped and compressed cygwin1.dll
cygwin1-*.dbg.bz2   	debugging information for cygwin1.dll (rename to
/bin/cygwin1.dbg for use with gdb)
cygwin-inst-*.tar.bz2   	directory from "make install" (dll, exes,
libs, headers, etc)
cygwin-src-*.tar.bz2   	all sources needed to build cygwin1.dll
(winsup, newlib, etc)

I'm wondering under what circumstances do I use each of the above?

Thanks,
Bill
