I’ve improved the script so that it no longer requires any parameters.  It finds the last-used setup.ini file and extracts the list of currently-installed packages, all on its own.

Thus, calling this script is now as simple as:

    $ /path/to/setup*.exe -P $(/path/to/find-cyg-roots) ...

    Finds the last-used Cygwin setup.ini file, then uses the
    package dependency info found within it to pare the list of
    currently-installed Cygwin packages down to a "root" set,
    being those that will implicitly install all of the others
    as dependencies.
    
    The output is a list suitable for passing to setup.exe -P.
