[Bug 21206] Cygwin 1.7.1 fails to install packages under wine

I think I have a workaround, though, which I'll bake into winetricks
until we've fixed the bug.  Here 'tis:

Use an old setup.exe (the one I just uploaded at
http://kegel.com/cygwin/1.5/setup.exe will do)
Invoke it with the -X parameter to turn of signature checking,
and use the URL
ftp://www.fruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/2009/09/08/111037
for the repository.  (-X is needed because the archive at fruitbat.org
doesn't have the .sig files.)

That doesn't behave perfectly, but it does seem to let me limp along.
