Excessive packages installed by default

[rotaiv]

It used to be when ever I install a fresh copy of cygwin, I selected the 
minimal applications I wanted then ran setup.exe a second time and let it 
catch any dependencies and updates.  This worked fine for many installs 
until recently.  The last time few times I did this, numerous other 
packages acted like they wanted to be installed.  Not knowing why, and 
assuming they need to be installed, I just proceed as normal.

 From what I can tell, it installed over 30 more packages and they consumed 
around 65 MB.  I also noticed that most of these "extra" packages were in 
the "Misc" category.  Is there a reason why suddenly all these other 
packages are wanting to install?  Is there a way to skip those without 
knowing which ones are needed because of dependency issues?
