Security Concern: setup.exe signature difficult to verify

Today, I was downloading cygwin, and discovered how challenging it really is to verify the authenticity of setup.exe.  Typically there are 3 ways an executable can be verified: Method 1) Windows supports signed exe files.  When you first execute an exe, windows first shows a window allowing you to
