How to install packages...

You'd actually be suprised ;-P  

We use cyg and the Gnu autotools for building our product on Win32 ...
and I find myself walking devs through the effort of setting cyg up (and
then later helping them set it up /properly/).  

I know that setup.exe doesn't currently support batch operations ... how
much effort would it be to add?  Is it planned?  Is there a better way
to install it in a batch manner?  

I took a look at the sources, and I could patch it in a few hours
(probably) ... but I also guessed that I could shell script the same in
less time, assuming that the it is as simple as unpacking the tar files
and running the post install script(s).  I've not solved it yet, only
because of lazyness / overload at work

Any suggestions would be handy ;)
