AdminCygwin Release


Hello everyone,

I'm trying to create a "Small Admin Cywgin relase", called AdminCgwin.
If it works, I will upload to sourceforge.

These are the main lines:

1- Create an installation windows package (.msi) with WIX.

2- Default Installed packages: base + admin + apt-cyg.
The remaining packages should be installed via apt-cyg

3- Customize /etc/profile to use folders outside the "Installation
folder".  Folders like Temp, Home must be out "cygwin installation
folder".

4- Customize Cygwin.bat to start in a folder with spaces.

5- Launch a custom action after msi installation, to execute
postinstall : 000-cygwin-post-install.sh.
I will try to reset /etc/passwd & /etc/group to the "new SAM machine".

Do you see any drawback that could broke cygwin? Do you have any
recommendation? I really appreciate your comments.

Thanks a lot for your time.
