Recent versions of Cygwin's setup.exe verify that setup.ini has been
signed by the Cygwin maintainers.

You can run setup.exe with the -X switch to disable signature
verification.

You can sign setup.ini with your own GPG private key, but you then
have to distribute the corresponding public key to users, and
setup.exe must still be run with the -U switch (allow untrusted keys).
