Ok. I give. We need a way to install snapshots via setup.exe.

I guess I give. I have always thought that snapshots should only be
installable by people who had enough of a clue to figure out how to use
bunzip2 and copy but the standard run of "The latest version of cygwin
doesn't work" complaints have convinced me that we need a better way to
get people to install and test snapshots.
I was thinking of always making the latest snapshot available as a "test"
version of cygwin. Would that be too dangerous or do we need another
method for doing this?
