AFAIK, you wouldn't want to install X without also installing some other things like bash, at least. I would think you'd want other tools like 'cp', as well. Since people always complain that the minimal installation for cygwin (which is the default) doesn't have enough stuff in it, I don't really understand why the minimal installation + X would have too much.
One scenario is the stand-alone xserver which just acts as terminal for remote access.
How would you manage remote access if you didn't at least have bash, though? Run xterm + cmd.exe, maybe?

Remote access as in running a remote xterm and displaying it on a local X. Either that, or XDMCP. The first obviously also needs some other way of connecting to the remote machine (e.g., telnet).
