BTW, I forgot to mention that this is not how you find out the version of
Cygwin you have.  See <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> for instructions
on providing information about your Cygwin installation.

I believe <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.setup.html#faq.setup.setup> is what
you're looking for.  It may be worth changing the first FAQ entry to
mention that installing extra packages happens using the same setup.exe...

If you are using setup, but having problems with installation, please
provide the exact steps you use to reproduce the problems, any error
messages you get, and other information requested in the Cygwin problem
reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>.
