Doesn't handle RPMs, only Cygwin packages. Does have a apt-get style interface. I'm thinking RPM support is a bit beside the point? A binary RPM from a different distro won't work, packages usually need porting to Cygwin -- that's all part of the Cygwin package system.

Chris Cormie, meet Christopher Faylor - Master of the understated ironic wisecrack.
