Better Cygwin

You install cygwin on your PC and, at install time, you pick all the packages that sound cool. A month later, you haven't tried a single one out. And, you have no clue what you installed. Sound familiar? Now M$ is soft - they give you a shortcut to everything you installed from the Start menu. What cygwin needs is a gui that can give you a snapshot of your install, a brief desciption of each "big" package you installed and a button to start it with some default options.
