For completeness:
Just the two modules Cygwin::Setup and Cygwin::Setup::ByDir are missing.
But I have them somewhere from upset. But upset is no more, there's 
genini now.

BTW: Just for those modules we renamed the perl archlib recently
to i686-cygwin. So we will have no nameclash in the future.

Even the interactive prompt is there.

Hmm. I'll check if I like it or if I like mine more. :)
