I have uploaded the .tar.bz2 packages to http://www.znark.com/cygwin/. 
The site is limited in bandwidth so it would be best if someone copied 
them somewhere permanent.

If anyone wants to build their own copies, they can use the build.sh 
scripts in that directory. It basically unpacks the .tgz files, 
repackages them in .tar.bz2 files, and shuffles around some of the files.
