Greetings!
When I run setup, I get a prompt to enter my proxy credentials, which is pretty handy. I have other tools that just uses the IE or Firefox proxy entries, but now, I am trying to figure out how cygwin setup creates that credential prompt to see if I am able to use it with another tool. Anyway has any idea? Thanks.

I think that dialog is presented when setup gets a
'HTTP 407 Proxy Authentication Required' response.
I think if you are using the 'Use System Proxy Settings' setting in
setup, and the system has the proxy credentials, you shouldn't need to
provide the credentials.
