And my config file:

# Options for clean_setup.pl

-DDir
-DSetup
-CSetup
-MFile
-noprev
-notest
-install
-source
-prevobsolete
-archive Attic
-missing missing.list

# -missingprefix ftp://ftp.easynet.be/cygwin/
-missingprefix ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sources.redhat.com/pub/cygwin/

-I misc
-I *kde-cygwin
