If there is another method to do an unattended Cygwin install, I'm all
ears. I have briefly pondered to script a standalone installer, but it
requires too much infrastructure and I don't see much value in trying to
re-do what setup.exe already does. The question of doing unattended
installs comes up often enough that official support would be nice,
IMHO.

A self-fulfilling prophecy: nobody is doing it because nobody is doing
it. I'll have to add on whatever I need, if it's useless to you then
just don't use it.
Regards,
Achim.
