Applying this technique [thanks, Nicolas]...
  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-07/msg00134.html
...I created my own "virtual" setup file:
  http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lmi/setup.ini

Relevant excerpts from instructions I wrote for end users:

"Choose A Download Site": Select any mirror; copy this:
  http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lmi/
and paste it into "User URL", then click "Add". As a result, two
lines in the listbox should be selected, though they aren't
necessarily both visible on the same screen.

"Select Packages" appears after a progress page. Make sure
lmi is selected in the "Base" category; that's the only thing
you need to do on this page.
