Have good installations of cygwin on some computers. But these were
manually setup using the interactive cygwin setup tool. Always forgot
to install a couple of packages.

Can a fresh install be made using an existing installation as
template? Is there a way to use the contents of an existing /etc/setup
to download/install on a fresh machine. Or sometjing like that.

That is, I want to do download/install in a more programmatic way, as
an alternative to a binary copy machine-to-machine.
