I'm not too sure that we should keep this scheme in the long run. The /bin dir is getting very big in a full install and /bin should be in $PATH anyway. For now we should probably stick to this scheme, but we should rethink this approach at least when we create the new package area for the Cygwin 1.7 release.

/usr/games to install games?
What is the proper location for games in Cygwin? According to FHS[1], I've used: /usr/games Jari [1] http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SPECIFICOPTIONS9 Chapter 4. The /usr Hierarchy Purpose /usr is the second major section of the filesystem. /usr is shareable, read-only data. That means that /usr should be shareable between various FHS-compliant hosts and must not be written to. Any information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored elsewhere. Specific Options . Directory Description X11R6 XWindow System, version 11 release 6 (optional) games Games and educational binaries (optional) lib Alternate Format Libraries (optional) src Source code (optional) -- Welcome to FOSS revolution: we fix and modify until it shines
