The MSYS2 project keep an up to date archive with files lists for all packages

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/msys2/REPOS/MINGW/x86_64/mingw64.files.tar.gz

This file is not very large considering

    $ gzip -l mingw64.files.tar.gz
             compressed        uncompressed  ratio uncompressed_name
                 982852             9585152  89.7% mingw64.files.tar

I was wondering if something like this is possible with Cygwin. Currently if you
want to search a file that is not installed you must use

    cygcheck --package-query

which I have noticed can be very slow. I would be happy to help with maintaining
a Cygwin archive with file lists for all packages.
