You didn't have the same complaint - rxvt is for use when cygwin is
fully installed, the complaint in question is the size of the setup.exe
windows, which are used to perform the installation.

Thanks for the hint. However, I do know how to make resizable windows.
The problem isn't simply resizing a single window - it's scaling out all
the elements on this particular window in a sane fashion - for all of
the setup.exe dialog windows, within the framework of the MS
tabbed/paged dialog, on the fly. Putty is trivial by comparison, by it's
very nature.
Cheers,
Rob
