The new setup.exe will still understand old setup.ini's, just not the
reverse.
However, all that I did to upset (for this particular change there were
a few more other changes required) was add --release and --arch options
to produce the setup.ini with those tags.

The intent of release:, as I stated elsewhere is to eventually get
rid of the mirror directories created by setup.exe. They will be
replaced with "release" directories like "cygwin" or, e.g.,
"cygwinports".
As of last week, Ports uses the new $arch/setup.ini layout with release:
cygwinports. Do you have a patch already to implement the release
directories?
