Not only that, it will affect many users' shortcuts. For example, many users have a shortcut to xterm that says something like
c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm [options]
Some have quite a few. If we go through with this change, we'll need to find a good way of dealing with the move so that shortcuts either won't need to be changed, or can be changed automatically.
FWIW, we cannot use mounts, since shortcuts use Win32 paths.
Yes. Its purpose is the same as xpm-nox -- to allow rendering postscript to a non-screen device in batch mode. People who don't have X may still want to do this, for example to convert postscript to PDF.
You'll also have to think of things like X-startup-scripts. While they are not part of the X server proper, many people rely on them to start the X server. There may also be quite a few custom scripts with hard-coded paths, but a simple symlink of /usr/X11R6->/usr should do the trick for those.
