Install methods

Install methods

[John Vincent]

Hi,

Since I see that RPM has been ported to cygwin,
it might be nice to have a tarball (or a setup.exe
package) that installed RPM and all it's dependencies,
and then you could use RPM to install whatever other
cygwin packages you wanted.

Not quite as user-friendly as a GUI interface, but a
very flexible alternative.

Just a suggestion.

/John Vincent.

Thanks.  As it turns out, we've heard that one before too.  Like other
package suggestions, this one is just waiting for a maintainer.
