new snapshot of setup.exe.

new snapshot of setup.exe.

[Robert Collins]

I've uploaded a new snapshot to http://www.cygwin-snapshots/. 

It has all the corrections the current release has, but should also
address the hangs that some folk with XP have reported. I've uploaded
this now to give those folk *something* to install with.

It does this courtesy of Gary's chooser integration patch, so the whole
setup is in one single window. (well except for the final message).

This setup also:
* Checks MD5 sums on downloaded packages (but doesn't recover
gracefully).
* Installs even more robustly in local directory only mode.
* Downloads a compressed setup.ini from mirror sites if available (and
all mirrors now have these) for faster operation.
* Behaves a little better on the mirror selection screen.

There is still more to do before branching and then releasing this
setup, but it works fine with every scenario I've thrown at it.

FYI - just tried setup 2.243 on W98 SE.  Download to local dir
worked perfectly, but install from local dir hung on the
first uninstall operation (it was automake-devel).  I waited
a long time in case it was a network problem, then finally pressed
cancel and got:

  SETUP-2 caused an invalid page fault in
  module SETUP-2.243.EXE at 016f:0042ef9d.

Also, the text on the "view" button gets corrupted after it is clicked.

[Reported just for informtion - I know this snapshot was provided
primarily to solve the XP problems.]

Oops. Must get some more sleep. Yes, thank you.
