   i've   always   believed  that  power users can easily download all
needed  files    and    untargz    them.  only  thing  that power-user
(with  fresh  windows   installed)  needs  is    internet   connection
and    win32  self-extractor   containing   cygwin1.dll,   mount.exe,
gzip.exe,  tar.exe  and  bzip2.exe. oh, and sh.exe, perhaps. like
current latest/bootstrap.zip

   i  was  doing this procedure yesterday myself -- had a bare windows
and strongly needed ssh client :)
