Cygwin/XFree86 setup.exe package problem


I've just expunged a working /etc/X11 and /usr/X11R6 and used
SETUP.EXE to install XFree86 4.2.0 via setup.exe on a Windows 95
Cygwin installation.

Everything went well except that several symbolic links were missing
and I had to enter the following by hand;

ln -s /etc/X11/app-defaults /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
ln -s /etc/X11/fs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs
ln -s /etc/X11/lbxproxy /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/lbxproxy
ln -s /etc/X11/proxymngr /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/proxymngr
ln -s /etc/X11/rstart /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rstart
ln -s /etc/X11/twm /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/twm
ln -s /etc/X11/xdm /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm
ln -s /etc/X11/xinit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit
ln -s /etc/X11/xserver /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver
ln -s /etc/X11/xsm /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xsm

These are the directories that are more normally copied or links from
Xinstall.sh as the ETCDLINKS list.

Why not have either a post-install script or have the XFree86-base tar
archive contain them?
