Personally, I like a setup name that doesn't change at every version. I can just press Win-R, start typing cygw..., explorer completes to "http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe" and off I go. Keeping a up-to-date link from "setup.exe" to "setup.1.2.3.4.exe" would work well but it would probably be a burden to the maintainer. Mind you, changing the name once to "cygwin-setup" or "setup-cygwin" would be nice. JST
