Hello, with Dan's hack in winetricks, I can install cygwin packages with
wine-1.1.36, wine-1.1.36-142-g3b67ad9 and wine-1.3.36.
After cygwin packages installed, at least echo.exe and yes.exe works well. 

Without Dan's hack, I can't install cygwin packages with all of above versions.

On all versions of Wine, when I try to install cygwin packages with `winetricks
-q --no-isolate cygwin` but  without Dan's hack (Paste in
ftp://www.fruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/2009/09/08/111037 as the repo url for
now, until bug 21206 is fixed) , I get an error claims as below:

--- snip ---
http://cygwin.petsads.us//setup.bz2 line 2436: syntax error, unexpected STRING

http://cygwin.petsads.us//setup.bz2 line 2436: unrecognized line 2436 (do you
have the latest setup?)
--- snip ---

If I follow Dan's hack, then this error is disappear on all versions of Wine.

Google for such message won't point me to any open wine bugs. Should this bug
be reopened or report a separate bug?

Cheers and Happy New Year :)
