modification to mkcygwget to overcome arg length limitation

[Lance Nehring]

Hi all,
I tried to use the mkcygwget script to download a cygwin mirror for 
offline installation.  The mkcygwget script generates a script named 
cygwget to do the heavy lifting of retreiving files.   However, I got a 
"argument list too long" exception from wget, since the generated script 
has all the files to be downloaded appended to a single wget command.

I've made a slight modification to the mkcygwget script so that the 
generated cygwget contains a separate wget command for each file to be 
downloaded.   This solved the problem I was having....thought I'd post 
the modified script to this mailing list in case anyone else was interested.
