Those are correct.

Except xfree86-bin.tar.bz2 contain an older version of XWin.exe
in /usr/X11R6/bin and should be deleted.  I did not get time
to clean up XCygwin/XFree directories on Sourceware.  Will do it this week.

Oh that is my mistake xfree86-4.0-xwin.tar.bz2 should also install in
/usr/X11R6/bin, replacing the older copy of XWin.exe.  Please move it to
/usr/X11R6/bin.

Preferabley from a DOS shell start X-server using startxwin.bat.

cd \usr\X11R6\bin
startxwin

All should work after that
