For the record, I don't think Yaakov, Corinna, or I are really
interested in spending our time adding some sort of suggestion
mechanism
to setup.exe. This would have ramifications both for setup.exe, for
the
script which updates setup.ini, and for the genini script.  It would
likely be a fair amount of work.

I thought I had sometimes seen Setup display a dialog box that said something like "The package you have selected requires the following additional packages", with a check box saying "Install these packages (RECOMMENDED)". What triggers that dialog box to appear?

You get that when you've deselected a package that's a requirement for another package you selected.
