you are right.
Setup for the time being allow only to remove specific package

-x --remove-packages              Specify packages to uninstall

It will be nice to have at least the possibility to read the list from a 
file.

For your case, creating a .bat file is not ideal, but should work :

cygcheck -cd | grep "texlive-collection-lang*" |  awk 'BEGIN { printf 
("setup-x86.exe -q ")} {printf "-x " $1 " " }END { printf "\r\n pause 
"}' > remove.bat

and than you run the remove.bat

As Achim is working on setup, may be he can also look on that.

Different topic: are you currently using brltty ?
We lost the package maintainer and it was never ported to 64bit,
so it was for these reasons, recently removed from cygwin.

I can work to repackage it, but I need a tester
that has a "refreshable braille display".

Regards
Marco
