The packages will install in /bin by default, just like the CD. I'm
talking about the packages that are part of a normal cygwin net

I don't know what you mean by "install format". I mentioned tar files.
That is what I would imagine we'll be using.

Dunno. Probably a couple.

Yes. That would be the primary responsiblity of a maintainer.
