Synopsis: Batch file to automate the install of Cygwin
Description:
   This batch file is meant to be kept in a Dropbox folder so that on
   a new machine the user can run one script and install a very usable 
   cygwin installation in minutes with minimal interaction from the user.
Features:
   - Auto start after install and every time windows starts
   - Creates a softlinks to Dropbox linux files (~/.vimrc ~/.bashrc ~/bin etc.)
   - Installs apt-cyg which is a very easy to use command line package management tool.
   - Sets up for ssh access out of the box.
Dependecies:
   - Internet connection
   - Dropbox pre-installed in the default windows location c:\Dropbox
   - The other included files:
      - cygwin-startup.bat
      - getWebFile1.vbs
      - install-cygwin.bat
TODO:
   - Use %TEMP% rather than the C:\Temp
