The cygwin and unix world is a help yourself world. You must do some work. No one is here to do it for you. What I did in your position was to look for a bash script, and copy it. Then you modify it. When you get stuck, use google to look for help. I have just written a number perl programs

There's autorebase, which is called from setup, but the method is not entirely foolproof. If you installed exactly once and then don't start setup again unless new packages are available, you're ok, but if you start setup a couple of times to install more packages you forgot in the first run,
