I didn't mean to tread on any toes. I was expressing an opinion.
Perhaps I should have made that clearer. Sorry.
Most packages "run under" Cygwin itself, but they're not all
sub-directories of release/cygwin.
XFree86 is a distinct entity in its own right. Everything currently
under that folder is part of the XFree86 project.
Other things that can use X such as rxvt and WindowMaker aren't part
of XFree86 itself. In my opinion they should have their own
directories and perhaps a new category such as "Xapps."

It's a minor detail.
