the user has used the -X option to turn off signature checking, we
could make sure that setup.ini contains "release: cygwin".

Once we finish discussing this patch series, I'll look into that.

I went ahead and did this, just to make sure it would work as expected.I'll post it shortly as a second patch series (depending on this one).
