the cygwin port packages will be available as tarballs for after-install
use, but the basic installation procedure for core cygwin and all
pre-compiled packages will be within InstallShield since it is a very
powerfull tool for such purposes on Win32 systems and new cygwin users
should be more familiar with InstallShield than saying "tar xfz
foo.tar.gz" within a non-DOS bash shell.

Hmmm, that's why we want to build the CD environment as clean as
possible, like SuSE does it with the latest 6.0 release. Mainly all
packages should work after installation. Support for re-compiling the
packages will be very limited.

Stipe
