One additional feature that might be useful is a command

Think of it as a grep through setup.ini
You mean like 'cygcheck -p <desired filename>'?
No, not quite. If I do something like:
cygcheck -p find
I get a long list of "matches" that includes xorg man pages and
zsh.
What I expected was a list of packages that have "find" in the
first line of the package description (the @ line) or maybe
in the "requires:" line.
