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).
