While setup has some command-line arguments, I'm not sure if there are any
that do exactly what you asked about.  For more information, look in the
code of setup (search for "Option") or Google for "setup command line
arguments site:cygwin.com inurl:ml inurl:cygwin-apps" (but be aware that
some of these messages might be out of date).
