How to install customised version of cygwin


Hi

I am re-posting this question as, although I got an answer, it didn't
quite resolve my problem. 

I would like create a customized version of cygwin which includes Perl
TK, some perl utilities of my own, some other extras like Tk::FileDialog
and the like. I would like to be able to package that up, then install
this with a script similar to setup.exe on other computers. I had a look
at the setup.exe script: I cannot customize it as it is binary code. 

My question is: is there any way to create a customized version of
cygwin, then use an install script that installs cygwin properly on any
other computer (Win NT, 2000 and XP). This would include creating the
mount points and executing the mkpasswd -l > etc/password and mkgroup -l
>/etc/group commands and whatever else is needed to install cygwin properly. 

Perhaps one way of resolving this is finding the source code for
setup.exe. If I know what setup.exe does to install cygwin properly,
perhaps I can create my own script that does the same for the customized
version of cygwin I would like to install. 

Can anyone help me out with this? Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

Hugo
