How about command-line switches for unattended installation? This
would be useful for deploying Cygwin in any non-toy environment.
It should be as simple as applying Edward Peschko's patches:

The "-a" option is the vital one. Downloading via GUI is not so bad
since you only do it once per version. Installing via GUI, on the
other hand, makes large-scale deployment impossible without bad and
fragile hacks (like GUI automation tools).
