Subject: setup 2.194.2.21: Questions about the "per-mirror directories" feature

Hello,
I have few questions about the new per-mirror approach of setup:

1) What are the advantages, how to make use of them?

2) Is it possible to delete old versions (downloaded by old setup) of the
already updated (by new setup) packages?
(I mean, that old versions are still in .../latest & .../contrib and new
ones are in .../some_mirror_site_directory/latest)

3) When will be updated the "Cygwin package contributors guide"?
I've been using setup for installing some local stuff (gtk+ etc) and now i'm
not sure about the details - naming convention, storage, setup.hint &
setup.ini syntax and so on...

Thank you
Alexei Lioubimov

PS: of course i've looked through all posted messages about new setup, but
didn't find any useful answers among them yet.
