A new version of Setup (2.917) has been uploaded to:

  https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe  (64 bit version)
  https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe     (32 bit version)

Changes compared to 2.915:

- Show a warning if running on a deprecated Windows version

Support for:
- Windows 6.0 (Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008)
- 32-bit Windows (including WoW64)
in Cygwin is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version, 
sometime this year.

This warning can be disabled with the '--no-warn-deprecated-windows' or 
'-w' option, or using a "In the future, do not show me this dialogue 
box" checkbox.

- Fix setup silently exiting if elevated and 'CYGWIN=winsymlinks:lnk' is 
in the environment (by ignoring that environment variable)

- Fix creating bogus versions of obsoleted packages (under certain 
specific circumstances), which then fail to download because they don't 
exist!
