I've implemented some POC code and deduped my Cygwin mirror (it is missing most of KDE and the cross-Cygwin compilation toolchains). This took a solid 12 hours of flat out 400% CPU load on my SandyBridge laptop and ballooned the page file to 21GiB. But it also removed almost exactly a third from the repo's size (going from 81.2GiB to 51.4GiB), so projected to the full repo it's slightly more than my original estimate.
