This isn't necessarily a Cygwin question.  But it's a very important
question with only one reasonable answer, in my opinion.

If you want to move all software from one computer to another then
check out Acronis True Image with the Universal Restore option.  It will
restore a Ghost-like backup to just about any other PC, automatically
handling the change of devices.

I have nothing to do with Acronis other than being a satified customer.
