Redoing the setup on a different machine

["Ronald Fischer" <Ronald dot Fischer at venyon dot com>]

Is there an easy solution to the following problem?

From time to time (every couple of weeks or few months) I happen to
have to use a different Windows machine on a different customer's site.
I always want to use Cygwin there with "my" favorite packages.

This means that every time I have to setup Cygwin (this is OK, not much
work)
and then go to all the package and manually flag what I want to have
included
(this *is* much work, and error-prone, since I tend to overlook
something).

I guess that Cygwin maintains somewhere on the hard disk a file
containing
a list of all installed packages. Is it possible to save this file on
the
old machine, and after having setup a minimal Cygwin on the new machine,
put that package file on it, call setup again and tell it to reinstall
the most recent versions of these packages?

(BTW, I wonder whether this would be a good entry in the Cygwin FAQ,
since probably many users will have the same problem when moving to
a new computer).
