I think this is a useful addition to the cygwin packages but I don't see
why it should be a requirement that it be available as a package before
people start using it.
So we can also use NASM to build UCL/UPX which is needed here
We should not precompress delivered binaries (besides setup.exe maybe?).
It will not reduce the size of the packages very much.
We could maybe include in the UPX file also two shell scripts: compress everything
and decompress everything, just to ease things to users.

I'm using it since a year now.
Fetch my binary: http://familiehaase.de/cywgin/compression/upx/
rsync.exe 2.5.4-1 shrinks from 167936 down to 72704, and .bz2 archive
too shrinks from 95901 down to 94571 (I didn't expect this one)...
anyone has objections if I pack future rsync

Does UPX come with an API library that you can just use in setup?
That's a nice idea, and on a related note I'm considering compressing
setup.exe with UPX once it's a

Of course bz2 archives wouldn't change but installed size could.
Just an idea (and I found nothing in the archives regarding it 0=) ).
