RFC: setup package in Base


In order to speed up the adoption of the latest setup.exe, would it make
sense to ship it as a package?  Here is an initial draft of what this
might look like:

https://github.com/cygwinports/setup/blob/master/setup.cygport

Note that the executable itself is version/release-numbered so that we
never have to deal with replacing a running executable (setup itself).

Also, as an alternative to a simple symlink, what about a wrapper script
(such as the attached) that would allow more "yum-like" commands like
"cygsetup update" or "cygsetup install foo bar"?
