What so wrong with setup.exe?
I am doing a similar cygwin roll out at my work site and I use
setup.exe. It can be run with command line switches so that it does not
prompt the user and installs/updates automatically. Then you just define
you own custom package, add it to Base group and make it depend on all
the pacakges you want installed by default.
See http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/package-server.html
By staying with setup.exe your installation process will update as
Cygwin does.
