I just built the latest setup.exe.  It looks really nice.  And, I see that
clickable categories are working!

Can I suggest one more GUI feature that I think has been lacking from
Categories?  (I know I said no new features but I think this is
important)

I keep meaning to suggest that we add a '+' or a '>' to the left of all
of the Categories so that it is obvious that they can be expanded.  I
think that people are used to interpreting the icon next to something as
indicating that there are more things possible to list.

Also, I thought that the Category page was supposed to automatically
expand the Categories that were installing things so that it was obvious
what was about to be downloaded.  Didn't it do that at one point.

I really like the look and feel of the new setup.exe.

Hopefully, that won't translate into it being completely incomprehensible
for everyone on the cygwin AT cygwin list.
