apt-cyg is a command-line installer for Cygwin which cooperates with Cygwin Setup and uses the same repository. The syntax is similar to apt-get. Usage examples:
* "apt-cyg install <packagenames>" to install packages
* "apt-cyg remove <packagenames>" to remove packages
* "apt-cyg update" to update setup.ini
* "apt-cyg show" to show installed packages
* "apt-cyg find <pattern(s)>" to find packages matching patterns
* "apt-cyg describe <pattern(s)>" to describe packages matching patterns
* "apt-cyg packageof <commandsorfiles>" to locate parent packages

apt-cyg is a simple script. Once you have a copy, make it executable:

Optionally place apt-cyg in a bin/ folder on your path.
