As one of the user, I reply to your question.
XFree86 is not correct name what you talk about.
XFree86 is more general name not only the cygwin platform.
What you indicate is Cygwin-X. On the Cygwin site, the name Cygwin-X is written not but Xfree86.
Historrically the Xming seperated from the Cygwin-X. Its purpose is not the same as the Cygwin-X.
The biggest point is that it is NOT a cygwin software and completely inpendent from the cygwin. I
think that it is not possible to bundle with the cygwin.

Tatsuro
