I think we should wait. Currently, the cygwin-xfree dist is
developer-friendly (e.g. download lots of tarballs, run a script and
answer lots of questions, and the script will install and configure
stuff "properly"). Translating that into a setup-compatible tarball
will take some work; IMO it'd be better to have a (mostly) stable
setup.exe *before* asking the cygwin-xfree folks to embark on that task.
