If they can follow your current instructions, they can surely start some
script that does this correctly?

Whatever you call it, it's still cludgey nonsense that might or might
not work.  Only when it's not working your users will really be unable
to figure out what to do since they won't even know what is failing.

Again, to provide your tools properly for Cygwin, create a Cygwin
package, set up a package repository that provides it and then start a
script that calls setup to install it and any other packages you need
(if not already installed by way of dependency).  Setup can deal with
multiple package repositories, so you can use one of the official
mirrors as the primary package repository and only provide your package
as an add-on repository (like cygwin ports does).
