To start XWin you will need at least
XWin.exe
cygwin1.dll
cygX11-6.dll
cygfreetype-9.dll
cygz.dll
For full operation you will need
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb (this is a symlink to /etc/X11/xkb)
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
/etc/X11/xkb (files can be placed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb)
These paths are hardcoded. If you want to install into another directory
(eg /opt/colinux) you will have to recompile X11 and add this to
xc/config/cf/host.def
#define ProjectRoot /opt/colinux
This will for example install the xkb definitions to /opt/colinux/lib/X11/xkb

No. Our packages are designed to be installed with the cygwin installer only.
