I guess you mean you want to create a full package for cygwin install. 
If you don't have to use a config file, there is an easy way:

Create a Directory, Download setup.exe here,
run setup.exe, Download everything from a machine where Cygwin had NEVER 
been installed, the download directory should be sub-directory of your 
created directory. Then make an archive (use winzip, winrar, etc.) of 
the whole tree (including the directory where setup.exe contains). Okay, 
copy this archive to every machine where you want to install cygwin.
