I don't use AutoIt for this, but I do push in a cygwin environment with
a custom package list.  My process is as follows (roughly):

Grab the cgwin installer and do a local download of all desired
packages.
Update the catalog file to mark any package in the download repo as
Base.  (I have a ruby script that does this for me automatically.)
Run the cygwin installer during the unattended run with the script
provided from the wiki that runs it in 'auto' mode.

I can share the ruby script and any other framework stuff if it would
help...I haven't looked at it in quite some time now though, so I'm not
sure how much extra framework stuff I've got besides the little ruby
thing.
