Well, i feel strange.

Linux is "suposed" our reference model, but Cygwin is not unix, 
not linux and also not Windows, its cygwin..

Actually there is some similar to a "distro", this is what
cygwin setup installs, and all the installed files are listed on
/etc/setup/*. RPM is good enought to make *contribution* packages,
probable better than tar+gz, and tar+bz2, but by now RPM
is not part of the official-cygwin-release/distro
it makes me dont want rpm to be on /usr instead of /usr/local.

And wen i talk about RPM, i talk about sendmail, bind, perl,
whatever you compile and distribute. 

Everyway you can do whatever you like, but it's not the correct way to go.

If linux is our "supposed" reference model, i think (may be i'm foolish)
on fsstnd, but today everybody (starting at redhat [sorry]) 
does what they want.


Another time, it's my personal opinion, and i don't wan't any kind
of war about fsstnd, redhat, ports, sex, beer, or whatever.
