I've prettied up a batch file I use for installing cygwin-inst-*
snapshots, and added stuff to handle spacey pathnames and inetd (which
AIUI isn't always a cygrunsrv service), neither of which I personally
use.

Just drag and drop the tarball onto the batch file, or run with
absolute tarball name as argument via a dos prompt.
