And, implied by Brian's response but is worthwhile to state explicitly,
if you choose to override setup.exe's defaults here, it's assumed that
you know what you're doing (i.e. what the consequences are, etc.)  But
then you're creating a custom installation of Cygwin and such installs
are not supported by this list.  That means you're on your own if you
run into problems.  I don't know if this situation applies to Lloyd's
case or not.  But I thought it prudent to tie up any perceived loophole
here. :-)
