Right now I listed all the />/applications (> cygcheck -n) and am manually selecting them

The command-line options are described here:
https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.setup.cli
and the one you'd need is '-P' (this is a Windows application you'll
likely run from cmd, so quoting the arguments can be a hassle: I
recommend to have the package list in the form pkg1,pkg2,…,pkgN -- that
is no spaces, but separated by comma). You'll only want the manually
installed packages, that is the ones that have that flag set in
/etc/setup/installed.db -- see this post:

If you truly want exactly the same set of packages then you can do so as
well:

But It won't work - well. I have 1446 packages. I could, through the
magic of sed, gawk, cut, ... create a single -P list, but that looks so
unbelievably ugly that I must defer. But I didn't notice -P and thanks
for that.
The reference
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2023-November/254868.html does
produce a big -P.
The reference
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2015-September/223509.html I have
yet to try. I have to find out how to make the packages 'outdated' and
then I'm good to go - I know that this was spelled out in the email but
I'd like to see if there is an alternative.
