Running setup-x86_64.exe and performing an individual search for
each package, and/or toggling View to "Full" and going down the list
to select each package is a pain in the neck. And running "setup-
x86_64.exe -q -P packageName" is fickle, and fails more often than
works.

Thanks.
This is good as far as it goes, but it's kind of memorializing our
terribleness.
We actually have the build-requires information available to setup these
days, so I think what's really needed here is extending setup so it can
do something useful with it, so one can just write e.g.:
setup -q --please-install-the-build-requirements-of-this-package cygwin
