I was having trouble coming up with a sed command to convert all the version
numbers to 0.0-0, so instead, I 'cut' all the package names from
/etc/setup/installed.db and built a batch file to call setup.exe with the -P
switch.

#!/usr/bin/sh
echo -n setup.exe -P $(
    for p in $(cut -d \  -f 1 /etc/setup/installed.db)
    do
        if [ "$p" == "INSTALLED.DB" ] 
        then
            continue
        elif [ "$p" == "_update-info-dir" ] 
        then
            continue
        else
            echo -n $p,
            fi
        done) > portcyg.bat
