I've done this now.  For a complete TeX Live install (including all 68 
texlive-collection-* packages), the postinstall time was reduced from 48 
minutes to 15 minutes on my system.

For anyone interested in the details, I'm attaching my two perpetual 
postinstall scripts, as well as some patches to cygport that were needed.

The first two cygport patches have nothing to do with perpetual 
postinstall scripts.  The second one, in particular, is responsible for 
part of the speedup and should have been done long ago.
