Agreed.
It's also technically much easier to store it in the registry and not in 
ini files or /etc/setup/last-* files.

Should I move the last-* files content then to the registry? Or just copy.
I would say move. When the user switches back to an older setup.exe 
version, he/she looses his/her prefs.

What else?

"HKCU/Software/Cygwin Setup" or
"HKCU/Software/Cygwin/Setup"
instead of
"HKCU/Software/Cygnus Solutions/Setup"

We know that the name is misleading, but it's our well established 
legacy root. For the DLL at least.
