A couple things:
You can usually copy a collection of folders under *nix and succeed in
preserving your set-up.
You can't do that with a lot of Windows software because there are a bunch
of settings hidden in the registry.
So because of that, I'd urge you to consider storing everything in a file,
preferably somewhere in the Cygwin file hierarchy.
Just a suggestion.

Sylvain,
Because, as I have reiterated over and over, XWin.exe is a Windows
application, not a Cygwin application.
As an aside, one of my goals is to have a stand-alone version of
XWin.exe, building off of Suhaib's work, that does not depend upon
Cygwin at all. It will mostly be a proof of concept, but it would also
be cool if X.org accepted the code into their sample implementation.
Granted, it wouldn't have all of the libraries and programs, but it
would be an X Server that ran on Windows.
Thus, I want to avoid making XWin.exe a Cygwin app. Others may not
agree, but that is certainly my goal.

Why would we write outside of the cygwin filesystem to complete this ?

Biju,
I think we all forgot about one option: Why don't we use the
interface
to (for example) C:\Documents and Settings\User_Foo\Application
Data\CygwinXFree86\... ? Is there such an interface or is it largely
just an issue of getting the proper directory to write your config
files to?
