Les,
I've found with recent version of Cygwin, there aren't any registry or
other issues preventing a fully "portable" (as in runs from any
path/drive letter/external device) non-installation setup - IOW, get
it running on one machine and then distribute via a zip file or
however you like.
If you google "portable cygwin" you'll find a very confusing mishmash
of only occasionally accurate information, but I've spent a fair bit
of time testing and configuring things without anything special and
"it just works".
My X:\Cygwin tree contains setup.exe, a "download.bat" to do a
"download only" update to a local 0-setup-pkgs folder, and an
"install.bat" to update/add to the local apps from that setup folder
if needed.
The sshd setup, cygrunsrv and all that still needs to be run on each
client of course, and this part is what is then non-portable, but all
the regular tools work without anything special needed in the
registry, given you set up any path modifications, environment
variables with (again centrally managed) batch files.
Let me know if you want any further specific details, directly
off-list would be fine.
