hierarchy in setup (category stuff)

Not addressed. May not be present with the default view now categories.

not addressed.

3) I haven't added the lex rule for multi category parsing yet (but the
suporting c code is there.

I've changed the default view to categories. (It's the view constructor
call).

I'll draw up change log stuff and send something to cygwin-patches... or did
you want me to hit CVS directly?

I don't think we even need separate directories - they don't do much once
the package system manages the view :].
