I wouldn't use this as a good example of how to do things, as it's 
rather specialized, and relies on the GitHub cygwin-install-action [1] 
to do the actual installation.


But to answer the question actually asked, no, there is no specific 
documentation on this.

However, there is information on the command line options that setup 
supports (linked to from [2]), and generally using '-q' and '-P 
packagelist' can perform an automated installation.


What do you think more specific documentation could usefully say? 
Patches or suggested words are welcome.
