The new setup.exe will still understand old setup.ini's, just not the
reverse.

However, all that I did to upset (for this particular change there were
a few more other changes required) was add --release and --arch options
to produce the setup.ini with those tags.

Feel free to add those to genini if you want.

The intent of release:, as I stated elsewhere is to eventually get
rid of the mirror directories created by setup.exe.  They will be
replaced with "release" directories like "cygwin" or, e.g.,
"cygwinports".
