I was playing around with making initial setup of dev tools on windows easier, specifially the cygwin setup.
So some notes: setup.exe installs "Base" packages by default and http://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/package-server.html documents setting up a "Custom Cygwin package server", so the first thought was to set up a cygwin package server and stick the cygwin dev tools we need on windows into it and tweak the packages we need to be "Base" so we could just say "stick cygwin.libreoffice.org as the mirror and just click ok". Snag turns out to be that setup.exe is hardcoded to want setup.bz2.sig signed with a particular gpg key :-( so if you want to make a custom server you need to rebuild a custom setup.exe unless you force people to use particular command line options to ignore them, which is no real improvement over just cutting and pasting the existing line into your terminal.
