The Cygwin setup utility http: //sources.redhat.com/cygwin/setup.exe is
quite nice.
However, as I've used it over the last several months, I notice that my
local disk keeps the obsolete tarballs.
Has anyone come up with a script to clean out obsolete tar.gz's from the
local repository?
Or, are they kept for a good reason?

They are kept so that you can revert to a previous version if you want/need.
