I'm all against including it into the setup step.  I used rebase
exactly one time and then to test a not-yet-official version of MySQL
server which was linked against openssl.  I'll try this with openssl
and its fixed non default base and the latest perl which uses
auto-image-base to see if this resolves my MySQL problem.  Other than
this I never needed to use rebase so I don't think it should be a
default step when setting up Cygwin.  Finally we'll reach a point
where we run out of addresses anyway.
