CYGSETUP is a shell script whichs provides a (most complete) 
command line installer for cygwin packages. 

The command line interface and options is leaned on the rpm installer. 

Some notes: 
- cygsetup saves its configuration into /etc/setup/cygsetup.conf 
- A short help could be found calling cygsetup without any parameters. 
- --mirror accept a local mirror too with an url  file:<path>
