A search of the archives will prove instructive

Actually, a search of the archives will prove futile, as the standard
response is, "if you want a better setup, code it yourself." Since
most of the people asking this question are a bit green in their
programming skills, and in fact may be complete neophytes, the
response to "code it yourself" is somewhat cold.
How about a kinder, gentler response like, "we are trying to find
someone with the skill and will to re-code the setup program to
provide for window resizing, but as of yet have no takers."

But that would violate the cygwin slogan "Because We Are Mean"
