It looks like I jumped into a transition at Cygwin, they moved everything
from the XFree86 Category to a new X11 Category and all packages that were
prefixed with XFree86 are now prefixed with xorg-x11. Xwinclip turned up
there too (although I still think its not needed when I look at the comment).
The old XFree packages are now in the ZZZRemovedPackages Category and are
basically empty, this sort of "uninstalls" them so the xorg-x11 packages
can be installed safely without side-effects later on when the user decides
to uninstall the XFree86 packages - it can be done safely when the packages
do not contain any files anymore.
The only "active" XFree86 package I still see is XFree86-lib-compat.
Selection of X-startup-scripts still causes selection of a few of the
"Removed" packages, I guess they are not 100% finished with the transition.
Anyway, the Readme needs an update...
Kind regards,
Henk.
