Core packages in Cygwin

Whenever I install a fresh cygwin these are the optional packages I select:

  1. Web -> Wget
  2. Shells -> rxvt (VT102 terminal emulator), mc (Linux midnight commander for file mgmt)
  3. Net -> whois
  4. Dev -> rcs, cvs, gcc-g++, gcc-gdc (D compiler), Boost
  5. Archive -> zip

Interesting things include Text->Antiword (ms word reader). I don't bother with ping (Windows has it) or Python/QT (since cygwin tends not to have the latest versions).
