Ah-ha! You're the one! We can't allow this subversion! You will be
forever banished!! ;-)
I'd hope that anyone who's capable enough to build Cygwin from source
would also be capable enough to handle basic configuration issues that
setup helps to automate. I think people can use their best judgement
about asking questions in this regard. But I'd be surprised to see
any thoughtful question about building Cygwin shot-down based on the
premise that it's off-topic because setup hasn't been used. I think
the person involved here has a different goal than those who are just
looking to install Cygwin. This list can accommodate both of these
"types" IMO.
