When you're doing it from the command line, you're getting a full base 
Cygwin install. Your GUI method is only installing bash and the bash 
dependencies. It looks like to me that there should be 27 packages.

I started to draw out a dependency tree, but it got to painful to type 
up, and I doubt many would care. I'm surprised there's not such a thing 
on the Cygwin site somewhere, but perhaps I'm just blind.
