I'm a bit confuse.
I was thinking that setup.exe was a sort of wizard able to download
what you want and selecting the options 'install' he download ALL.
Now I'm not sure. If I use a program like wget, I obtain all from the
repository but how match the dependency?
If I download cygwin today on this machine and tomorrow I download
again from the same mirror in another location, if I choose 'install',
setup could download exactly the same things.
Or setup make a check in the directory root where cygwin is installed.
In this case, setup have to finish with NO DOWNLOAD.
For me make confusion that today download  same package and tomorrow others.
Where is the bug?
