You can package the required Cygwin packages easily:
Download the required packages (see lists PostGIS Windows Installation Tips
or DCMMS Administration Guide) with the Cygwin setup and put them together 
with the Cygwin installer in a zipfile or on a CD. The files will end up in a 
folder starting with ftp

Unfortunately, I don't have enough webspace
available for such a package (~ 60 MB). 

The Cygwin installer is automatically picking up those files regardless 
whether you've copied everything on a CD or not. Select the option "Install 
from local directory"
for this purpose.
