slightly OT, but you can automate the cygwin install somewhat using setup.ini:

I'm currently trying to use this to get my "cygwin for perl" installation process a bit more sane.

Thanks to [corion] for pointing this out.

UPDATE: On second thought, setting up a local repository sounds like too much work for just the occasional install.
<p>
I'm just keeping my notes on what's needed for building with cpan in a local bash alias.

<code>
$ thartman_cygwin_install_hint
install under c:/, not the default
install
under devel
make
gcc
cvs
svn
ssh
under editors
emacs
everything under perl
mkdir /home/hartman and svn co shellenv under there.
in windows env vars (right click my computer, properties, advanced)
set HOME to /home/hartman
add c:\bin;c:\usr\local\bin; to front of PATH (make sure it's ahead of c:\windows\system32)
if necessary, reinitialize cpan
cpan> o conf init
