Seconded!  I always forget some packages.  If it were in a straight text
file it could also be used to 'diff' two systems to find version and
installation differences.

Also, a search facility in setup.exe would be really useful, some of the
packages are not obviously sorted (ssh for instance is sorted under 'O'
for 'openssh').
