i think you can dowmload the packages form a server
than you will have to extract them in / using tar -xjf ...
than you will have to run the postinstall scripts in /etc/postinstall
i have tried that to install small packages and it is working
This won't work if you don't have cygwin already installed ;-)
I think this could also be a problem if you have an old release of the
program installed as it doesn't remove the old files as the setup
the last thing is that i don't think that the packages will be
registered for cygwin and so you won't see then in cygcheck...

PS: if someone know a way to do that in a better way i'm interested.
