Yes, should work as far as rsync is the only cygwin-based tool on the
system.
This is generally discouraged, though, because having multiple
cygwin1.dll in the PATH can lead to bad problems and moreover using the
standard setup.exe you have the benefin that on each next execution of
setup.exe it propose to upgrade any package in use.
