There is very little magic here.
Cygwin is mainly just a bunch of files on disk.
If you back up your c:\cygwin (or whatever) you are most of the way
there.
In addition, you need to mediate on the documentatio for the "mount"
command, paying attention to the "-m" option and the mkpasswd and the
mkgroup command.
If you are installing services, you will need to install them on every
system that you copy this to.
