Look at the setup.ini content

Category: Base

There are few dependencies, not in base, that are fundamental libraries

e.g for Bash
---------------------------------------
@ bash
sdesc: "The GNU Bourne Again SHell"
..
category: Base Shells
..
depends2: cygwin, libiconv2, libintl8, libreadline7
...
