Jan, cyg-apt appears to be able to install packages on Cygwin as well as Linux.
Do you know if it has regularly been used in such a manner? The biggest concern
would be that if running under Cygwin it would not be able to install
cygwin1.dll.
While setup.exe is the only supported way of installing packages on Cygwin,
I would like to add this information to the FAQ as another option for users who
cannot use setup.exe to select packages (linux or blindness have come up several
times).
