'''chocolatey installs cygwin to C:\programdata\chocolatey\cygwin\tools\cygwin'''
Cygwin is built to be able to be run in a portable way. You install, update, and get new packages by
re-running the cygwin installer.
Always install the 32 bit version of cygwin, unless you absolutely need it to be 64bit. It is much
more supported. Cygwin doesn't seem to require any registry keys to be set, the only things that
affect it's portability are some environment variables.
'''NOTE''' If you are using my package-setup script, always run it with a normal
cygwin http-repo as a source, reboot, then run with the private key for a cygports repo.
If you fail to do this, and run the cygports repo first, you may end up with corrupted packages.

Cygwin provides a unix-like environment to run processes under windows by emulating unix syscalls.
It has no CLI package manager, but the installer can be scripted to install packages.
