Just something to keep in mind here: the texmf .tar.gz is somewhere on the order of 30MB. wget sucks it down quite adequately over a modem or 1/2ISDN here in the good ol' US of A, but rarely without a few restartable retries. Until Cygwin's setup gets such functionality, my guess is it would probably cause more grief than it cures to add it as a package, just due to its size. Gary R.
