selecting the xorg-x11-base package would select all other required x11 
packages too and install them.

If selecting of dependencies is not working then it's a problem with the 
cygwin installer and should be reported to the cygwin mailing list.

The messages from the cygwin mailinglist indicate a problem with setup.exe
and not with the packages.
