Well, if you want to see C++, just wait until Robert's done with his changes.

IMO, setup.exe isn't a good place for a beginning C++ programmer since it
has a curious mixture of C and C++ strategies.  Maybe this is a reflection
of its origins or maybe because the 'cinstall' directory is so close to the
'cygwin' directory.
