Cool. Any user level feedback while you're at it? Irrespective of recent
threads on cygwin@ I really do appreciate feedback!

Yes. For clarity:
In install-from-net, only the setup.ini's from the selected mirror sites
are parsed. Cached tarballs in /latest and /contrib ARE used in addition
to anything in the relevant mirror site subdirs - if found.
In install-from-local, all setup.ini's in the subtree are scanned and
used.
Cached tarballs from /latest and /contrib, and any subtree rooted where
a setup.ini is found are used.
