"setup.exe" doesn't support conditional dependencies but for those that
would prefer to install/use another X-Server, I'm sure they can figure
out how to tell "setup.exe" not to install Cygwin's X-Server. I'm sure
the facility you're talking about could be added to "setup.exe" if someone
were interested in providing patches to enable this though.
