Setup - command line only

I was hoping someone would consider a version of setup.exe that only ran 
on the command line, i.e. a non-graphical setup program.  This would be 
especially helpful for remotely updating packages of the Cygwin suite. 
I think it's ironic that the Cygwin suite which specializes on command 
line utilities only has a graphical user interface for setup/updates.

A separate question might be, why can't setup update itself?  Even, 
"click here to download the new setup" would be a setup forward.

Just some ideas.  Hopefully, this isn't the 300th time someone has 
asked, but I did do a Google before sending this.
