Main reason for running setup when nothing has been updated is to (re)run rebase
and other scripts that may not have completed successfully the first time for
some reason.
An option to skip might be nice for scheduled unattended updates, like hitting
Cancel at the end; as would an option to have setup find and stop cygrunsrv
server processes before starting updates, then restart cygrunsrv server
processes before exiting.

They do accept patches to setup ;^>
