Actually, by default setup.exe installs everything. If someone chooses not
to install a complete installation and then is surprised when they do
an "info gcc" and find that gcc is not available, I'm not going to be
incredibly sympathetic.
However, if you want to submit a patch to setup.c, I'll certainly consider
it.
